But we should probably bring the check down to sysctl_optmem_max
in ip6_flowlabel.c too since allocating 64K is still quite likely
to fail and warn.

In fact, we should probably just use sock_kmalloc in these places.

Very likely we could get away with that.

But some apps might start breaking since this would now
charge the socket and we could hit the limits whereas
before we wouldn't.
