kernel: scale nf_conntrack_max more reasonably

Use the kernel's built-in formula for computing this value.
The value applied by OpenWRT's sysctl configuration file does not scale
with the available memory, under-using hardware capabilities.
Also, that formula also influences net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_buckets,
which should improve conntrack performance in average (fewer connections
per hashtable bucket).

Backport upstream commit for its effect on the number of connections per
hashtable bucket.

Apply a hack patch to set the RAM size divisor to a more reasonable value (2048,
down from 16384) for our use case, a typical router handling several thousands
of connections.
