Subject: [PATCH 4.14 218/293] nfsd: give out fewer session slots as limit approaches

[ Upstream commit de766e570413bd0484af0b580299b495ada625c3 ]

Instead of granting client's full requests until we hit our DRC size
limit and then failing CREATE_SESSIONs (and hence mounts) completely,
start granting clients smaller slot tables as we approach the limit.

The factor chosen here is pretty much arbitrary.
