It seems, the current threshold for root resizing is too aggressive,
and it causes misleading warnings during big updates, but it might be
also responsible for memory problems, especially with non-preempt
configs, when RCU freeing is delayed long after call_rcu.

It should be also mentioned that because of non-atomic changes during
resizing/rebalancing the current lookup algorithm can miss valid leaves
so it's additional argument to shorten these activities even at a cost
of a minimally longer searching.

This patch restores values before the patch "[IPV4]: fib_trie root
node settings", commit: 965ffea43d from
v2.6.22.

Pawel's report:
<blockquote>
I dont see any big change of (cpu load or faster/slower
routing/propagating routes from bgpd or something else) - in avg there
is from 2% to 3% more of CPU load i dont know why but it is - i change
from "preempt" to "no preempt" 3 times and check this my "mpstat -P ALL
1 30"
always avg cpu load was from 2 to 3% more compared to "no preempt"

According to this and other similar reports average depth is slightly
increased (~0.2), and root nodes are shorter (log 17 vs. 18), but
there is no visible performance decrease. So, until memory handling is
improved or added parameters for changing this individually, this
patch resets to safer defaults.
