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.
