xfrm: export xfrm garbage collector thresholds via sysctl

Export garbage collector thresholds for xfrm[4|6]_dst_ops

Had a problem reported to me recently in which a high volume of ipsec
connections on a system began reporting ENOBUFS for new connections
eventually.

It seemed that after about 2000 connections we started being unable to
create more.  A quick look revealed that the xfrm code used a dst_ops
structure that limited the gc_thresh value to 1024, and always
dropped route cache entries after 2x the gc_thresh.

It seems the most direct solution is to export the gc_thresh values in
the xfrm[4|6] dst_ops as sysctls, like the main routing table does, so
that higher volumes of connections can be supported.  This patch has
been tested and allows the reporter to increase their ipsec connection
volume successfully.
