Reduce PACKET_RX_RING memory usage
Previous memory allocation was excessive (80 MB). Changed it to use 2 MB instead. There is no drop in perfomance due to this change: ab -n 100 -c 10 http://server/latin10m.txt ==> 10 MB file 80 MB: 178 MB/s 2 MB: 181 MB/s PiperOrigin-RevId: 238321594 Change-Id: I1c8aed13cad5d75f4506d2b406b305117055fbe5
