[PATCH next v1 0/2] limit local tw done

[David Wei <dw@davidwei.uk>]

Currently when running local tw it will eagerly try and complete all
available work. When there is a burst of work coming in, the list of
work in work_llist may be much larger than the requested batch count
wait_nr. Doing all of the work eagerly may cause latency issues for some
applications that do not want to spend so much time in the kernel.

Limit the amount of local tw done to the max of 20 (a heuristic) or
wait_nr. This then does not require any userspace changes.

Many applications will submit and wait with wait_nr = 1 to mean "wait
for _at least_ 1 completion, but do more work if available". This used
to mean "all work" but now that is capped to 20 requests. If users want
more work batching, then they can set wait_nr to > 20.
