[PATCH 3/3] sunrpc: change default for pooled services toSVC_POOL_AUTO and make settings persistent

[Jeff Layton]

The current default for pooled services is SVC_POOL_GLOBAL, which just
does allocations in whatever pool the current process is running, and
doesn't restrict which CPUs the tasks will run.

Change the default to SVC_POOL_AUTO so that large-scale machines will
automatically choose an allocation and cpu masking scheme that's better
suited to their architecture. Also, change it so that when the pool
refcount goes to zero, that we do not reset the allocation scheme to the
compile-time default. The setting should stick once it's made.
