This patch allows the effective SOMAXCONN value to be adjusted
by sysctl, as net.core.listen_max. The user-space value remains
fixed at the current value of 128, so this should not affect the
behavior of applications by default. A value larger than 128 is
sometimes useful for benchmarking purposes, when lots of new TCP
connections are established at once.
