mbcache: Limit the maximum number of cache entries
Limit the maximum number of mb_cache entries depending on the number of hash buckets: if the only limit to the number of cache entries is the available memory the hash chains can grow very long, taking a long time to search. At least partially solves https://bugzilla.lustre.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22771. Signed-off-by: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
