map->swap_lock protects map->cleared from concurrent modification,
however sbitmap_deferred_clear() is already atomically drains it, so
it's guaranteed to not loose bits on concurrent
sbitmap_deferred_clear().

A one threaded tag heavy test on top of nullbk showed ~1.5% t-put
increase, and 3% -> 1% cycle reduction of sbitmap_get() according to perf.

So if we race with another cpu, won't the 2nd cpu see that the mask is 0 returned from the xchg (not shown)? If so, it's odd to continue to do the CAS - or atomic not, from later patch - on a mask of 0.

Thanks,
