[Xen-devel] [PATCH v2] xen: credit2: avoid using cpumask_weight() in hot-paths

[Dario Faggioli]

cpumask_weight() is known to be expensive. In Credit2, we use it in
load-balancing, but only for knowing how many CPUs are active in a
runqueue.

Keeping such count in an integer field of the per-runqueue data
structure we have, completely avoids the need for cpumask_weight().

While there, remove as much other uses of it as we can, even if not in
hot-paths.

I just realized this patch fell through the cracks! :-O

I sent it quite a while ago, I got some comments from Andrew and
Andrii, but then never really followed up.

So here we hare!

Changes from v1:
* nr_cpus is now unsigned
* coding style (no hard tabs)
* killed a couple of redundant ASSERT()s
