The L2CAP send path requires a full SDU to be assembled in the socket
buffer before transmission can begin. Therefore, the socket buffer must
be large enough to hold a worst-case SDU.

Derive the required buffer space from the worst-case parameters:
Maximum SDU plus length field: 65535 + 2 = 65537 bytes
At MPS 24:                    2730 full PDUs + 17-byte tail
With 4-byte L2CAP headers:    28-byte full PDUs, 21-byte tail
At HCI MTU 27:                2730 * 2 + 1 = 5461 fragments

MPS 24 and MTU 27 are chosen because they produce the most fragmentation.
Apply a 4x safety factor because SKB_TRUESIZE can underestimate actual
usage because of class-size rounding and minimum allocations.

The L2CAP send path deadlocks waiting for buffer space if it cannot fit
a full SDU in the send buffer. Using the system default typically causes
that to happen before the max allowed SDU. I didn't address the deadlock.
I just scaled the buffer so it is unlikely to happen unless the socket
gets resized after initialization.
