UDP has two hash tables, for UDP and UDP lite. Default
them to 16 entries each on small kernels. This can be
still overriden on the command line.

Its changed to UDP_HTABLE_SIZE_MIN later in alloc_large_system_hash()
The reason there is a minimum UDP hash size is PORTS_PER_CHAIN,
or DECLARE_BITMAP(bitmap, PORTS_PER_CHAIN) on stack.
This patch has no effect on a small machine, because we already
dynamically size this hash table.
(The factor is one slot per 2MB of low memory)
