SO_RCVBUFFORCE/SO_SNDBUFFORCE need CAP_NET_ADMIN. Without it (non-root,
or root under Docker's default caps) listen.read_buffer/write_buffer
failed with EPERM and the socket kept the system default. On EPERM retry
with the plain option, which the kernel clamps to net.core.{r,w}mem_max,
and warn when the effective size is smaller than requested.
