netfilter: conntrack: adjust nf_conntrack_buckets default value
Manually bumping either nf_conntrack_buckets or nf_conntrack_max has become a common task as our Linux servers tend to serve more and more clients/applications, so let's adjust nf_conntrack_buckets this to a more updated value. Now for systems with more than 4GB of memory, nf_conntrack_buckets becomes 65536 instead of 16384, resulting in nf_conntrack_max=256k entries.
