sk_ack_backlog & sk_max_ack_backlog were 16bit fields, meaning
listen() backlog was limited to 65535.

It is time to increase the width to allow much bigger backlog,
if admins change /proc/sys/net/core/somaxconn &
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_max_syn_backlog default values.

Tested:

echo 5000000 >/proc/sys/net/core/somaxconn
echo 5000000 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_max_syn_backlog

Ran a SYNFLOOD test against a listener using listen(fd, 5000000)

myhost~# grep request_sock_TCP /proc/slabinfo
request_sock_TCP  4185642 4411940    304   13    1 : tunables   54   27    8 : slabdata 339380 339380      0
