Profiling shows that calling nr_possible_cpus() in objpool_pop() takes
a noticeable amount of CPU (when profiled on 80-core machine), as we
need to recalculate number of set bits in a CPU bit mask. This number
can't change, so there is no point in paying the price for recalculating
it. As such, cache this value in struct objpool_head and use it in
objpool_pop().
On the other hand, cached pool->nr_cpus isn't necessary, as it's not
used in hot path and is also a pretty trivial value to retrieve. So drop
pool->nr_cpus in favor of using nr_cpu_ids everywhere. This way the size
of struct objpool_head remains the same, which is a nice bonus.
Same BPF selftests benchmarks were used to evaluate the effect. Using
changes in previous patch (inlining of objpool_pop/objpool_push) as
baseline, here are the differences:
