Documentation/scheduler/completion.txt says this about complete_all():
"calls complete_all() to signal all current and future waiters."
Which doesn't strictly match the current semantics. Currently
complete_all() is equivalent to UINT_MAX/2 complete() invocations,
which is distinctly less than 'all current and future waiters'
(enumerable vs innumerable), although it has worked in practice.
However, Dmitry had a weird case where it might matter, so change
completions to use saturation semantics for complete()/complete_all().
Once done hits UINT_MAX (and complete_all() sets it there) it will
never again be decremented.
