The smc-sysctl.rst documentation incorrectly stated that the previous
hardcoded maximum number of WR buffers on the receive path (smcr_max_recv_wr)
was 16. The correct historical value used before the introduction of the sysctl
control was 48. Update the documentation to reflect the accurate default value.
Fixes: aef3cdb47bbb net/smc: make wr buffer count configurable

depending on the workload it can be a bottleneck in a sense that threads
have to wait for work request buffers to become available. Before the
introduction of this control the maximal number of work request buffers
- available on the receive path used to be hard coded to 16. With this control
+ available on the receive path used to be hard coded to 48. With this control
it becomes configurable. The acceptable range is between 2 and 2048.
Please be aware that all the buffers need to be allocated as a physically
continuous array in which each element is a single buffer and has the size
of SMC_WR_BUF_SIZE (48) bytes. If the allocation fails, we keep retrying
with half of the buffer count until it is ether successful or (unlikely)
- we dip below the old hard coded value which is 16 where we give up much
+ we dip below the old hard coded value which is 48 where we give up much
like before having this control.
