[PATCH v3 0/4] sunrpc: hardcode pool_mode to pernode, remove other modes

[Jeff Layton <jlayton@kernel.org>]

The second patch is basically the same as v2, aside from some changes
that Neil suggested.

The other three patches address what is a shortcoming of the existing
code -- namely that the server can be configured to schedule RPCs to
pools with no threads in them. The first patch addresses this problem:
if the chosen pool has no threads, then choose another that does.

The third patch tries to prevent this situation in the thread
auto-placement case by ensuring that each node has at least one thread.

The last patch is a performance micro-optimization. The old code used a
modulus (actually two) to determine the pool (and prevent potentially
overrunning the array). This trades that for a less cpu-intensive method
of finding the pool to use.

Changes in v3:
- Add patch to ensure that we don't route requests to empty pools
- When auto-distributing threads, always create at least one thread per populated pool
- Use sysfs_match_string for the module parameter
- Reword deprecation printk to be more vague about removal
- Explicitly set m_count == 0 in svc_pool_map_get()
- Optimize svc_pool_for_cpu() by eliminating modulus ops
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260625-sunrpc-pool-mode-v2-1-4f512b6e1ee8@kernel.org

Changes in v2:
- Accept any previously-accepted setting for pool_mode
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260423-sunrpc-pool-mode-v1-1-b7f20e35749b@kernel.org
