qsbr: micro optimization of the gp use.
Follow-up on 1a80f3: since now `0' for a gp counter means "offline", just
be sure that the global GP counter is never zero. To achieve that, let its
first value ever be one, and increment it 2 by 2 like previously done.
Note that it internaly uses the fact that signed integers wraps (which the
previous code already assumed anyways) but this is undefined behaviour in
C. Using unsigned longs would probably be more portable.
This way, setting the cpu online, marking a quiescent state is just a
matter of copying the global gp counter instead of incrementing it by one.
This saves one CPU instruction, and supposedly even register use for
architectures providing memory to memory copy operands.
