SUNRPC: increase size of rpc_wait_queue.qlen from unsigned short to u…

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_task_stats(rpc_clnt):

wait_queue: xprt_pending[1] cnt: 0
wait_queue: xprt_pending[2] cnt: 0
wait_queue: xprt_pending[3] cnt: 0
rpc_wait_queue[xprt_pending].qlen: 524 maxpriority: 0
wait_queue: xprt_backlog[0] cnt: 0
wait_queue: xprt_backlog[1] cnt: 685801
wait_queue: xprt_backlog[2] cnt: 0
wait_queue: xprt_backlog[3] cnt: 0
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.
