This patch refactors log_pipe_queue() to allow tail-call-optimization, meaning gcc uses a jmp to "call" the next queue method instead of a call, thereby eliminating the stack frame of log_pipe_queue().
This means that stacktraces are shorter when measuring them with perf and may also improve a bit of performance, although it was 2-3% in my measurements, which could easily be attributed to jitter.
