[PATCH] sched: Optimize __calc_delta.

From: Josh Don
Date: Fri Feb 26 2021 - 14:55:48 EST


From: Clement Courbet <courbet@xxxxxxxxxx>

A significant portion of __calc_delta time is spent in the loop
shifting a u64 by 32 bits. Use a __builtin_clz instead of iterating.

This is ~7x faster on benchmarks.
