net: sched: cake: Optimize the number of function calls and branches in heap construction
When constructing a heap, heapify operations are required on all non-leaf nodes. Thus, determining the index of the first non-leaf node is crucial. In a heap, the left child's index of node i is 2 * i + 1 and the right child's index is 2 * i + 2. Node CAKE_MAX_TINS * CAKE_QUEUES / 2 has its left and right children at indexes CAKE_MAX_TINS * CAKE_QUEUES + 1 and CAKE_MAX_TINS * CAKE_QUEUES + 2, respectively, which are beyond the heap's range, indicating it as a leaf node. Conversely, node CAKE_MAX_TINS * CAKE_QUEUES / 2 - 1 has a left child at index CAKE_MAX_TINS * CAKE_QUEUES - 1, confirming its non-leaf status. The loop should start from it since it's not a leaf node. By starting the loop from CAKE_MAX_TINS * CAKE_QUEUES / 2 - 1, we minimize function calls and branch condition evaluations. This adjustment theoretically reduces two function calls (one for cake_heapify() and another for cake_heap_get_backlog()) and five branch evaluations (one for iterating all non-leaf nodes, one within cake_heapify()'s while loop, and three more within the while loop with if conditions).
