netfilter: nf_ct_irc: cap packet search space to 4k

This uses a pseudo-linearization scheme with a 64k global buffer,
but BIG TCP arrival means IPv6 TCP stack can generate skbs
that exceed this size.

In practice, IRC commands are not expected to exceed 512 bytes, plus
this is interactive protocol, so we should not see large packets
in practice.

Given most IRC connections nowadays use TLS so this helper could also be
removed in the near future.
