Willy Tarreau c6ba9a0b9b MINOR: sched: have one runqueue ticks counter per thread
The runqueue_ticks counts the number of task wakeups and is used to
position new tasks in the run queue, but since we've had per-thread
run queues, the values there are not very relevant anymore and the
nice value doesn't apply well if some threads are more loaded than
others. In addition, letting all threads compete over a shared counter
is not smart as this may cause some excessive contention.

Let's move this index close to the run queues themselves, i.e. one per
thread and a global one. In addition to improving fairness, this has
increased global performance by 2% on 16 threads thanks to the lower
contention on rqueue_ticks.

Fairness issues were not observed, but if any were to be, this patch
could be backported as far as 2.0 to address them.
