[PATCH 3/5] percpu_ida: Optimize freeing tags when maximum cachesize is 1

[Alexander Gordeev]

In case percpu_max_size is 1 percpu_ida_free() sets bit in
the cpumask and immediately transfers the tag to the pool.
As result, the very next call to percpu_ida_alloc() on the
same CPU will have to pull a tag from the pool to the local
cache and so on. Hence, positive effects of local caching
become largely negated.

This update assumes stealing tags is faster than ping-ponging
between local caches and the pool and prevents returning tags
to the pool in case percpu_max_size is 1.
