flowcache: Increase threshold for refusing new allocations

commit 6b226487815574193c1da864f2eac274781a2b0c upstream.

The threshold for OOM protection is too small for systems with large
number of CPUs. Applications report ENOBUFs on connect() every 10
minutes.

The problem is that the variable net->xfrm.flow_cache_gc_count is a
global counter while the variable fc->high_watermark is a per-CPU
constant. Take the number of CPUs into account as well.

Fixes: 6ad3122a08e3 ("flowcache: Avoid OOM condition under preasure")
