nfsd: give out fewer session slots as limit approaches

J. Bruce Fields · J. Bruce Fields · commit de766e570413 · 2017-10-04T16:25:01.000-04:00
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.
