Set spl_kmem_cache_slab_limit=16384 to default

For small objects the Linux slab allocator should be used to make the most
efficient use of the memory.  However, large objects are not supported by
the Linux slab and therefore the SPL implementation is preferred.  A cutoff
of 16K was determined to be optimal for architectures using 4K pages.
