Eric Dumazet c77737b736 netfilter: conntrack: adopt safer max chain length
Customers using GKE 1.25 and 1.26 are facing conntrack issues
root caused to commit c9c3b6811f ("netfilter: conntrack: make
max chain length random").

Even if we assume Uniform Hashing, a bucket often reachs 8 chained
items while the load factor of the hash table is smaller than 0.5

With a limit of 16, we reach load factors of 3.
With a limit of 32, we reach load factors of 11.
With a limit of 40, we reach load factors of 15.
With a limit of 50, we reach load factors of 24.

This patch changes MIN_CHAINLEN to 50, to minimize risks.

Ideally, we could in the future add a cushion based on expected
load factor (2 * nf_conntrack_max / nf_conntrack_buckets),
because some setups might expect unusual values.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
