sbitmap: ammortize cost of clearing bits
sbitmap maintains a set of words that we use to set and clear bits, with each bit representing a tag for blk-mq. Even though we spread the bits out and maintain a hint cache, one particular bit allocated will end up being cleared in the exact same spot. This introduces batched clearing of bits. Instead of clearing a given bit, the same bit is set in a cleared/free mask instead. If we fail allocating a bit from a given word, then we check the free mask, and batch move those cleared bits at that time. This trades 64 atomic bitops for 2 cmpxchg(). In a threaded poll test case, half the overhead of getting and clearing tags is removed with this change. On another poll test case with a single thread, performance is unchanged.
