Hi, Andrew

Thanks for the suggestion variety.

I fixed and tested the value of batch-limit by 1, 2, 3, and 4 from the
beginning, in order to confirm what batch-limit is suitable.

It was something like the following in my environment.
Timeout did not occur batch-limit=1 and 2.
batch-limit = 3 was 1 timeout.
batch-limit = 4 was 5 timeout.

I think the limit is still high in; From the above results, "limit =
QB_MAX (1, peers / 4)".

So I have created a fix to fixed to 2 batch-limit when it became a
state of extreme.
https://github.com/yuusuke/pacemaker/commit/efe2d6ebc55be39b8be43de38e7662f039b61dec

Results of the test several times, it seems to work without problems.

When batch-limit is fixed and tested, below has a report.
batch-limit=1

batch-limit=2

batch-limit=4

The report at the time of making it operate by my test code is the following.
