Field G. Van Zee 9804adfd40 Added option to disable pack buffer memory pools.
Details:
- Added a new configure option, --[en|dis]able-packbuf-pools, which will
  enable or disable the use of internal memory pools for managing buffers
  used for packing. When disabled, the function specified by the cpp
  macro BLIS_MALLOC_POOL is called whenever a packing buffer is needed
  (and BLIS_FREE_POOL is called when the buffer is ready to be released,
  usually at the end of a loop). When enabled, which was the status quo
  prior to this commit, a memory pool data structure is created and
  managed to provide threads with packing buffers. The memory pool
  minimizes calls to bli_malloc_pool() (i.e., the wrapper that calls
  BLIS_MALLOC_POOL), but does so through a somewhat more complex
  mechanism that may incur additional overhead in some (but not all)
  situations. The new option defaults to --enable-packbuf-pools.
- Removed the reinitialization of the memory pools from the level-3
  front-ends and replaced it with automatic reinitialization within the
  pool API's implementation. This required an extra argument to
  bli_pool_checkout_block() in the form of a requested size, but hides
  the complexity entirely from BLIS. And since bli_pool_checkout_block()
  is only ever called within a critical section, this change fixes a
  potential race condition in which threads using contexts with different
  cache blocksizes--most likely a heterogeneous environment--can check
  out pool blocks that are too small for the submatrices it wishes to
  pack. Thanks to Nisanth Padinharepatt for reporting this potential
  issue.
- Removed several functions in light of the relocation of pool reinit,
  including bli_membrk_reinit_pools(), bli_memsys_reinit(),
  bli_pool_reinit_if(), and bli_check_requested_block_size_for_pool().
- Updated the testsuite to print whether the memory pools are enabled or
  disabled.
