4d77bbf856 MINOR: dynbuf: pass offer_buffers() the number of buffers instead of a threshold
Historically this function would try to wake the most accurate number of
process_stream() waiters. But since the introduction of filters which could
also require buffers (e.g. for compression), things started not to be as
accurate anymore. Nowadays muxes and transport layers also use buffers, so
the runqueue size has nothing to do anymore with the number of supposed
users to come.

In addition to this, the threshold was compared to the number of free buffer
calculated as allocated minus used, but this didn't work anymore with local
pools since these counts are not updated upon alloc/free!

Let's clean this up and pass the number of released buffers instead, and
consider that each waiter successfully called counts as one buffer. This
is not rocket science and will not suddenly fix everything, but at least
it cannot be as wrong as it is today.

This could have been marked as a bug given that the current situation is
totally broken regarding this, but this probably doesn't completely fix
it, it only goes in a better direction. It is possible however that it
makes sense in the future to backport this as part of a larger series if
the situation significantly improves.

90f366b595 MINOR: dynbuf: use regular lists instead of mt_lists for buffer_wait
There's no point anymore in keeping mt_lists for the buffer_wait and
buffer_wq since it's thread-local now.

e8e5091510 MINOR: dynbuf: make the buffer wait queue per thread
The buffer wait queue used to be global historically but this doest not
make any sense anymore given that the most common use case is to have
thread-local pools. Thus there's no point waking up waiters of other
threads after releasing an entry, as they won't benefit from it.

Let's move the queue head to the thread_info structure and use
ti->buffer_wq from now on.

739879a23b REORG: buffer: rename buffer.c to dynbuf.c
The include part was renamed by commit 2741c8c but I somehow missed
the renaming of the C file, whose name didn't match the H file anymore.
