Mark Vitale c5e3b430d8 viced: Raise fsstate loop detection limits
When verifying the sanity of host and callback state at startup and
shutdown, dafileserver attempts to detect loops in various structures
by imposing arbitrary hard-coded limits (e.g.
FS_STATE_HCB_MAX_LIST_LEN, 100000 callbacks per host).

However, it is possible for AFS clients with heavy RW workloads to
legitimately exceed some of these limits, if the dafileserver itself
is configured with -cb higher than 100000, for instance.

When this occurs, the dafileserver will falsely invalidate the
fsstate.dat file at shutdown:

  "cb_stateVerifyFCBList: error: list length exceeds 100000 (h->index=1);
   assuming there's a loop"

The dafileserver will then refuse to load the invalid fsstate.dat file
at startup, defeating the callback preservation feature just when it
is most sorely needed - when there are hundreds of thousands of
callbacks.

These arbitrary limits are unnecessary, since we already know the
number of structures we're processing for all of these cases (CBs,
FEs, and hosts). So just get rid of the hard-coded limits, and use the
actual limit for the relevant structure instead:

For CBs and FEs, we can never have more than 'cbstuff.nblks' entries
whether we're loading or saving state, so just use that limit for
simplicity.

For hosts, the number of entries is either in the dump file (when
restoring state), or just in our 'hostCount' global (when saving
state). To make sure a corrupted state file doesn't cause the host
limit to be unreasonably high, impose a new, higher, arbitrary limit
on the number of hosts (FS_STATE_H_MAX_LIST_LEN, set to 100M).

[adeason@sinenomine.net: Raise limits for _all_ structures.]

AFS is a distributed file system that enables users to share and
access all of the files stored in a network of computers as easily as
they access the files stored on their local machines. The file system is
called distributed for this exact reason: files can reside on many
different machines, but are available to users on every machine.
