[ Upstream commit 2c35f43b5a4b9cdfaa6fdd946f5a212615dac8eb ]
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:

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