Since commit 356f039822b (TCP: increase default initial receive
window.), we allow sender to send 10 (TCP_DEFAULT_INIT_RCVWND) segments.

Change tcp_fixup_rcvbuf() to reflect this change, even if no real change 
is expected, since sysctl_tcp_rmem[1] = 87380 and this value
is bigger than tcp_fixup_rcvbuf() computed rcvmem (~23720)

I don't understand where this calculation comes from, and even if it
should be obvious it isn't to me and deserves a mention in the commit
message at a minimum.

This is the calculation done in commit 356f039822b as well.

The window is 10*MSS, but no more than 14600

On loopback, this matters, because we could end with rcvmem=219680

Thanks, please help weak brains like mine by adding this to the commit message.
