sched: Use jump labels to reduce overhead when bandwidth control is inactive
Now that the linkage of jump-labels has been fixed they show a measurable
improvement in overhead for the enabled-but-unused case.
Workload is:
'taskset -c 0 perf stat --repeat 50 -e instructions,cycles,branches
bash -c "for ((i=0;i<5;i++)); do $(dirname $0)/pipe-test 20000; done"'
There's a speedup for all situations:
instructions cycles branches
