Subject: [PATCH v2 5/5] scale_bitmap: randomize initial last_cache values

From: Omar Sandoval <osandov@...com>

In order to get good cache behavior from a scale_bitmap, we want each
CPU to stick to its own cacheline(s) as much as possible. This might
happen naturally as the bitmap gets filled up and the last_cache values
spread out, but we really want this behavior from the start. blk-mq
apparently intended to do this, but the code to do this was never wired
up. Get rid of the dead code and make it part of the scale_bitmap
library.
