When the NFS client is under extreme load the rpc_wait_queue.qlen counter
can be overflowed. Here is an instant of the backlog queue overflow in a
real world environment shown by drgn helper:

rpc_wait_queue[xprt_backlog].qlen: 30441 maxpriority: 3 [task cnt mismatch]

There is no effect on operations when this overflow occurs. However
it causes confusion when trying to diagnose the performance problem.

Seems fine to me. In fact, on x86_64 there is a 2 byte hole after the
existing 2 byte qlen, so this probably won't even result in the
structure growing.
