A previous commit fixed task_work overrunning by a lot more than what
the user asked for, by adding a retry list. However, it didn't cap the
overall count, hence for multiple task_work runs inside the same wait
loop, it'd still overshoot the target by potentially a large amount.
Cap it generally inside the wait path. Note that this will still
overshoot the default limit of 20, but should overshoot by no more than
limit-1 in addition to the limit. That still provides a ceiling over how
much task_work will be run, rather than still having gaps where it was
uncapped essentially.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
