After commit b61785852ed0 ("net: increase skb_defer_max default to 128")
changed the value sysctl_skb_defer_max to avoid many calls to
kick_defer_list_purge(), the same situation can be applied to
NAPI_SKB_CACHE_SIZE that was proposed in 2016. It's a trade-off between
using pre-allocated memory in skb_cache and saving more a bit heavy
function calls in the softirq context.

With this patch applied, we can have more skbs per-cpu to accelerate the
sending path that needs to acquire new skbs.
