How about this? Add a new field caps_limit(calculated by
session->caps, mds_recall_max_caps,
mds_max_caps_per_client, mds_min_caps_per_client) in ceph_mds_client,
which can be set by ceph_trim_caps.

struct ceph_mds_client {
...
-       int             caps_use_max;        /* max used caps */
+      int             caps_use_max;        /* max used caps, limited
by client */
+      int             caps_limit;                /* limited by mds */
...
}

int ceph_trim_caps(...)
{
        int trim_caps = session->s_nr_caps - max_caps;
+      mdsc->caps_limit = max_caps;
   ...
}

if client's caps have no limit, we can track caps_limit.
Don't use min(caps_use_max, caps_limit) because it shows more clearly
whether it is limited by the client or mds.

e.g.
----
total 3112
avail 1025
used 2087
limit 2068   => caps_limit
max 2048   => caps_use_max(mount_option_caps_max)

trimmed
-------
total 1943
avail 1025
used 918
limit 918
max 2048
