  [Test Case]

   * Large numbers of IO tasks to large numbers of XFS fileystems while
  under memory pressure.  Testcase may not be guaranteed.

  [Regression Potential]

   * Upstream commit
  https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=7a29ac474a47eb8cf212b45917683ae89d6fa13b
   - This commit allocates rescuer threads for each of the XFS work queues.

   * Possible additional memory usage from rescuer threads.
