* changes since v3:
  - always round the delay with round_jiffies_relative() in function
    schedule_delayed() (patch 0001)

This is an attempt to fix the softlock on the delayed_work workqueue.  As
stated in 0002 patch:

  Function ceph_check_delayed_caps() is called from the mdsc->delayed_work
  workqueue and it can be kept looping for quite some time if caps keep being
  added back to the mdsc->cap_delay_list.  This may result in the watchdog
  tainting the kernel with the softlockup flag.

v2 of this fix modifies the approach by time-bounding the loop in this
function, so that any caps added to the list *after* the loop starts will
be postponed to the next wq run.

An extra change in 0001 (suggested by Jeff) allows scheduling runs for
periods smaller than the default (5 secs) period.  This way,
delayed_work() can have the next run scheduled for the next list element
ci->i_hold_caps_max instead of 5 secs.

This patchset should fix the issue reported here [1], although a quick
search for "ceph_check_delayed_caps" in the tracker returns a few more
bugs, possibly duplicates.

Allow schedule_delayed() callers to explicitly set the delay value instead
of defaulting to a 5 secs value.

Function ceph_check_delayed_caps() is called from the mdsc->delayed_work
workqueue and it can be kept looping for quite some time if caps keep
being added back to the mdsc->cap_delay_list.  This may result in the
watchdog tainting the kernel with the softlockup flag.

This patch breaks this loop if the caps have been recently (i.e. during
the loop execution).  Any new caps added to the list will be handled in
the next run.

Looks good. I'll do some testing with this today and will merge into
testing branch if all goes well.

FWIW, we've had some more reports of this, so I think we should get this
into mainline and stable soon. I'm going to squash these two patches
together as it should (hopefully) make it simpler for stable backports.
