Subject: [PATCH v4 04/14] perf/hw_breakpoint: Optimize list of per-task breakpoints

On a machine with 256 CPUs, running the recently added perf breakpoint
benchmark results in:

 | $> perf bench -r 30 breakpoint thread -b 4 -p 64 -t 64
 | # Running 'breakpoint/thread' benchmark:
 | # Created/joined 30 threads with 4 breakpoints and 64 parallelism
 |      Total time: 236.418 [sec]
 |
 |   123134.794271 usecs/op
 |  7880626.833333 usecs/op/cpu

The benchmark tests inherited breakpoint perf events across many
threads.

Looking at a perf profile, we can see that the majority of the time is
spent in various hw_breakpoint.c functions, which execute within the
'nr_bp_mutex' critical sections which then results in contention on that
mutex as well:

    37.27%  [kernel]       [k] osq_lock
    34.92%  [kernel]       [k] mutex_spin_on_owner
    12.15%  [kernel]       [k] toggle_bp_slot
    11.90%  [kernel]       [k] __reserve_bp_slot

The culprit here is task_bp_pinned(), which has a runtime complexity of
O(#tasks) due to storing all task breakpoints in the same list and
iterating through that list looking for a matching task. Clearly, this
does not scale to thousands of tasks.

Instead, make use of the "rhashtable" variant "rhltable" which stores
multiple items with the same key in a list. This results in average
runtime complexity of O(1) for task_bp_pinned().

With the optimization, the benchmark shows:

 | $> perf bench -r 30 breakpoint thread -b 4 -p 64 -t 64
 | # Running 'breakpoint/thread' benchmark:
 | # Created/joined 30 threads with 4 breakpoints and 64 parallelism
 |      Total time: 0.208 [sec]
 |
 |      108.422396 usecs/op
 |     6939.033333 usecs/op/cpu

On this particular setup that's a speedup of ~1135x.

While one option would be to make task_struct a breakpoint list node,
this would only further bloat task_struct for infrequently used data.
Furthermore, after all optimizations in this series, there's no evidence
it would result in better performance: later optimizations make the time
spent looking up entries in the hash table negligible (we'll reach the
theoretical ideal performance i.e. no constraints).
