alloc_tag: avoid current->alloc_tag manipulations when profiling is disabled
When memory allocation profiling is disabled there is no need to update current->alloc_tag and these manipulations add unnecessary overhead. Fix the overhead by skipping these extra updates. I ran comprehensive testing on Pixel 6 on Big, Medium and Little cores: Overhead before fixes Overhead after fixes slab alloc page alloc slab alloc page alloc Big 6.21% 5.32% 3.31% 4.93% Medium 4.51% 5.05% 3.79% 4.39% Little 7.62% 1.82% 6.68% 1.02% This is an allocation microbenchmark doing allocations in a tight loop. Not a really realistic scenario and useful only to make performance comparisons.
