It should also be the same performance as percpu_ida in light use, and
performs much better at > 50% utilization of the tag space. I think
that's better justification than "more used than".

Seems like that should be:


	ws = &se_sess->sess_tag_pool.ws[0];
	for (;;) {
		prepare_to_wait_exclusive(&ws->wait, &wait, state);
		if (signal_pending_state(state, current))
			break;
		tag = sbitmap_queue_get(&se_sess->sess_tag_pool, cpup);
		if (tag != -1)
			break;
		schedule();
	}

	finish_wait(&ws->wait, &wait);
	return tag;

Might make sense to just roll the whole thing into iscsi_get_tag(), that
would be cleaner.

sbitmap should provide a helper for that, but we can do that cleanup
later. That would encapsulate things like the per-cpu caching hint too,
for instance.

Rest looks fine to me.
