netfilter: conntrack: adopt safer max chain length

Customers using GKE 1.25 and 1.26 are facing conntrack issues
root caused to commit c9c3b681 ("netfilter: conntrack: make
max chain length random").

Even if we assume Uniform Hashing, a bucket often reachs 8 chained
items while the load factor of the hash table is smaller than 0.5

With a limit of 16, we reach load factors of 3.
With a limit of 32, we reach load factors of 11.
With a limit of 40, we reach load factors of 15.
With a limit of 50, we reach load factors of 24.

This patch changes MIN_CHAINLEN to 50, to minimize risks.

Ideally, we could in the future add a cushion based on expected
load factor (2 * nf_conntrack_max / nf_conntrack_buckets),
because some setups might expect unusual values.
