tcp: double default TSQ output bytes limit
Xen virtual network driver has higher latency than a physical NIC. Having only 128K as limit for TSQ introduced 30% regression in guest throughput. This patch raises the limit to 256K. This reduces the regression to 8%. This buys us more time to work out a proper solution in the long run.
