Rollup merge of rust-lang#72776 - lcnr:stalled_on-smallvec, r=nnethercote

fulfill: try using SmallVec or Box for stalled_on

Tested both `Box` and `SmallVec` for `stalled_on`, with both resulting in a perf loss.
Adds a comment mentioning this and removes an now outdated FIXME.

Logging the length of `stalled_on` resulted in the following distribution while building a part of stage 1 libs:
```
