[PATCH 2/2] nfsd: give out fewer session slots as limit approaches

["J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@redhat.com>]

From: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@redhat.com>

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.
