It would not help with the lack of information about if a socket is in 
auto-adjusted mode or not.

Though, yes in some part it helps. We can set tcp_rmem[1] before 
creating each socket to the buffer size we want for this socket. This 
way we would leave all sockets in autoadjusted state.

But a) it would be tcp-only approach and b) with this approach we need 
to create socket with it's final size and never change it. We would not 
be able to temporary increase buffer size like we do in socket queue 
restore code... (I see that initially we had some problem so that we 
needed to increase the buffer size 
https://lists.openvz.org/pipermail/criu/2012-November/005477.html but 
I'm not sure about real reason here, probably Andrey will be able to 
remember, almost 10 years passed since when.)
