Willy Tarreau a4e39890f3 MINOR: task: add a new task_instant_wakeup() function
This function's purpose is to wake up either a local or remote task,
bypassing the tree-based run queue. It is meant for fast wakeups that
are supposed to be equivalent to those used with tasklets, i.e. a task
had to pause some processing and can complete (typically a resource
becomes available again). In all cases, it's important to keep in mind
that the task must have gone through the regular scheduling path before
being blocked, otherwise the task priorities would be ignored.

The reason for this is that some wakeups are massively inter-thread
(e.g. server queues), that these inter-thread wakeups cause a huge
contention on the shared runqueue lock. A user reported 47% CPU spent
in process_runnable_tasks with only 32 threads and 80k requests in
queues. With this mechanism, purely one-to-one wakeups can avoid
taking the lock thanks to the mt_list used for the shared tasklet
queue.

Right now the shared tasklet queue moves everything to the TL_URGENT
queue. It's not dramatic but it would seem better to have a new shared
list dedicated to tasks, and that would deliver into TL_NORMAL, for an
even better fairness. This could be improved in the future.
