Lars Ellenberg 53ea433145 drbd: fix potential distributed deadlock
We limit ourselves to a configurable maximum number of pages used as
temporary bio pages.

If the configured "max_buffers" is not big enough to match the bandwidth
of the respective deployment, a distributed deadlock could be triggered
by e.g. fast online verify and heavy application IO.

TCP connections would block on congestion, because both receivers
would wait on pages to become available.

Fortunately the respective senders in this case would be able to give
back some pages already. So do that.
