 improvement



Hello,

kernel test robot noticed a 99.9% improvement of dbench.max_latency on:


commit: eccbbc7c00a5aae5e704d4002adfaf4c3fa4b30d ("nfsd: don't use sv_nrthreads in connection limiting calculations.")
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git master


testcase: dbench
config: x86_64-rhel-9.4
compiler: gcc-12
test machine: 224 threads 4 sockets Intel(R) Xeon(R) Platinum 8380H CPU @ 2.90GHz (Cooper Lake) with 192G memory
parameters:

	nr_threads: 100%
	cpufreq_governor: performance
	disk: 1HDD
	fs: btrfs
	fs2: nfs
