We tried to implement this, but it didn't work and had to reverted:

    malloc: Use __get_nprocs on arena_get2 (BZ 30945)

    This restore the 2.33 semantic for arena_get2.  It was changed by
    11a02b035b46 to avoid arena_get2 call malloc (back when __get_nproc
    was refactored to use an scratch_buffer - 903bc7dcc2acafc).  The
    __get_nproc was refactored over then and now it also avoid to call
    malloc.

    The 11a02b035b46 did not take in consideration any performance
    implication, which should have been discussed properly.  The
    __get_nprocs_sched is still used as a fallback mechanism if procfs
    and sysfs is not acessible.

    Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu.
