[NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack_expect: introduce nf_conntrack_expect_max sysct
As a last step of preventing DoS by creating lots of expectations, this patch introduces a global maximum and a sysctl to control it. The default is initialized to 4 * the expectation hash table size, which results in 1/64 of the default maxmimum of conntracks.
