net: loopback: set default mtu to 64K [Eric Dumazet]

loopback current mtu of 16436 bytes allows no more than 3 MSS TCP segments per frame, or 48 Kbytes. Changing mtu to 64K allows TCP stack to build large frames and significantly reduces stack overhead.

Performance boost on bulk TCP transferts can be up to 30 %, partly because we now have one ACK message for two 64KB segments, and a lower probability of hitting /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_reordering default limit.
