Willy Tarreau ded2110ec6 MEDIUM: peers: move process_peer_sync() to a single thread
The remaining half of the task_queue() and task_wakeup() contention
is caused by this function when peers are in use, because just like
process_table_expire(), it's created using task_new_anywhere() and
is woken up for local updates. Let's turn it to single thread by
rotating the assigned threads during initialization so that a table
only runs on one thread at a time.

Here we go backwards to assign the threads, so that on small setups
they don't end up on the same CPUs as the ones used by the stick-tables.
This way this will make an even better use of large machines. The
performance remains the same as with previous patch, even slightly
better (1-3% on avg).

At this point there's almost no multi-threaded task activity anymore
(only srv_cleanup_idle_server once in a while). This should improve
the situation described by Felipe in issues #3084 and #3101.

This should be backported to 3.2 after some extended checks.
