[PATCH v2] mieq: Provide better adaptability and diagnostics during mieq overflow

This patch changes from a static length event queue (512) to one that starts
at 128 and grows to 4096 as it overflows, logging each time it grows.
This change also allows for multiple backtraces to be printed when the server
is wedged rather than just one. This increased sampling should help identify
the true hog in cases where one backtrace might be insufficient.

Change since v1:
Fixed whitespace indentation issues with the first version.
