Subject: [PATCH net 1/3] wireguard: queueing: use saner cpu selection wrapping

Using `% nr_cpumask_bits` is slow and complicated, and not totally
robust toward dynamic changes to CPU topologies. Rather than storing the
next CPU in the round-robin, just store the last one, and also return
that value. This simplifies the loop drastically into a much more common
pattern.

Heh, thank you. Your memory is better than mine. That "Reported-by"
mystified me, so I had to go search for it.

March is clearly too long ago for me to remember anything.

I'm like a goldfish.
