Eric Dumazet 64db5933c7 icmp: increase net.ipv4.icmp_msgs_{per_sec,burst}
These sysctls were added in 4cdf507d54 ("icmp: add a global rate
limitation") and their default values might be too small.

Some network tools send probes to closed UDP ports from many hosts
to estimate proportion of packet drops on a particular target.

This patch sets both sysctls to 10000.

Note the per-peer rate-limit (as described in RFC 4443 2.4 (f))
intent is still enforced.

This also increases security, see b38e7819ca
("icmp: randomize the global rate limiter") for reference.
