[PATCH v4 0/4] sunrpc: hardcode pool_mode to pernode, remove other modes

[Jeff Layton]

This version drops the 5/4 follow-on patch that I had sent after the
original series, and changes the second patch to not allow unpooled
services to consult the map.

Patches #1 and #3 address what is a shortcoming of the existing code --
namely that the server can be configured to schedule RPCs to pools with
no threads in them.

The first patch addresses this problem: if the chosen pool has no
threads, then choose another that does.

The third patch tries to prevent this situation in the
auto-thread-placement case by ensuring that each populated node has at
least one thread.

The last patch is a performance micro-optimization. The old code used a
modulus (actually two) to determine the pool (and prevent potentially
overrunning the array). This trades that for a less cpu-intensive method
of finding the pool to use.
