[Xen-devel] [PATCH 1/2] xen: credit2: avoid using cpumask_weight() in hot-paths



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.
