### Summary

Executing a playbook with many hosts, there is massive overhead in checking whether the hosts list is a pattern, see for yourself on this callgrind graph:

That check has quadratic runtime with the number of hosts - with a lot of hosts, commenting that check out reduces runtime manyfold.

### Issue Type

Bug Report

### Component Name

variable manager

### Ansible Version

2.10.5, devel

### OS / Environment

Ubuntu

### Steps to Reproduce

```yaml
- hosts: localhost
  tasks:
    - set_fact:
        extra_tasks: true # compute it
        hosts: "{{ [an, array, with, 5100, computed, hosts] }}"

- hosts: "{{ hostvars.localhost.hosts }}"
  vars:
    extra_tasks: "{{ hostvars.localhost.do_extra_tasks }}"
  tasks:
   # some more tasks here
    - name: Execute extra tasks
      command: /bin/true # example
      when: extra_tasks
```

### Expected Results

Execute in tens of seconds.

### Actual Results

Take over 5 minutes to execute.
