[ Upstream commit 2c35f43b5a4b9cdfaa6fdd946f5a212615dac8eb ]

When the NFS client is under extreme load the rpc_wait_queue.qlen counter
can be overflowed. Here is an instant of the backlog queue overflow in a
real world environment shown by drgn helper:

rpc_task_stats(rpc_clnt):
-------------------------
rpc_clnt: 0xffff92b65d2bae00
rpc_xprt: 0xffff9275db64f000
Queue: sending[64887] pending[524] backlog[30441] binding[0]
XMIT task: 0xffff925c6b1d8e98

__dta_call_status_580: 65463
__dta_call_transmit_status_579: 1
call_reserveresult: 685189
nfs_client_init_is_complete: 1
COMMIT: 584
call_reserveresult: 573

__dta_call_status_580: 1
GETATTR: 10
__dta_call_status_580: 4
call_reserveresult: 6
751249 tasks for server 111.222.333.444
Total tasks: 751249

count_rpc_wait_queues(xprt):
----------------------------
**** rpc_xprt: 0xffff9275db64f000 num_reqs: 65511
wait_queue: xprt_binding[0] cnt: 0
wait_queue: xprt_binding[1] cnt: 0
wait_queue: xprt_binding[2] cnt: 0
wait_queue: xprt_binding[3] cnt: 0
rpc_wait_queue[xprt_binding].qlen: 0 maxpriority: 0
wait_queue: xprt_sending[0] cnt: 0
wait_queue: xprt_sending[1] cnt: 64887
wait_queue: xprt_sending[2] cnt: 0
wait_queue: xprt_sending[3] cnt: 0
rpc_wait_queue[xprt_sending].qlen: 64887 maxpriority: 3
wait_queue: xprt_pending[0] cnt: 524
wait_queue: xprt_pending[1] cnt: 0
wait_queue: xprt_pending[2] cnt: 0
wait_queue: xprt_pending[3] cnt: 0
rpc_wait_queue[xprt_pending].qlen: 524 maxpriority: 0
wait_queue: xprt_backlog[0] cnt: 0
wait_queue: xprt_backlog[1] cnt: 685801
wait_queue: xprt_backlog[2] cnt: 0
wait_queue: xprt_backlog[3] cnt: 0
rpc_wait_queue[xprt_backlog].qlen: 30441 maxpriority: 3 [task cnt mismatch]

There is no effect on operations when this overflow occurs. However
it causes confusion when trying to diagnose the performance problem.
