The 'queue->nr' will wraparound from 0 to 255 when only current priority queue has tasks. This maybe lead a deadlock same as commit dfe1fe75e00e ("NFSv4: Fix deadlock between nfs4_evict_inode() and nfs4_opendata_get_inode()"): Privileged delegreturn task is queued to privileged list because all the slots are assigned. When non-privileged task complete and release the slot, a non-privileged maybe picked out. It maybe allocate slot failed when the session on draining. If the 'queue->nr' has wraparound to 255, and no enough slot to service it, then the privileged delegreturn will lost to wake up. So we should avoid the wraparound on 'queue->nr'.
