ALSA: pcm: Rewrite recalculate_boundary() to avoid costly loop



At the time being recalculate_boundary() is implemented with a
loop which shows up as costly in a perf profile, as depicted by
the annotate below:

    0.00 :   c057e934:       3d 40 7f ff     lis     r10,32767
    0.03 :   c057e938:       61 4a ff ff     ori     r10,r10,65535
    0.21 :   c057e93c:       7d 49 50 50     subf    r10,r9,r10
    5.39 :   c057e940:       7d 3c 4b 78     mr      r28,r9
    2.11 :   c057e944:       55 29 08 3c     slwi    r9,r9,1
    3.04 :   c057e948:       7c 09 50 40     cmplw   r9,r10
    2.47 :   c057e94c:       40 81 ff f4     ble     c057e940 <snd_pcm_ioctl+0xee0>

Total: 13.2% on that simple loop.

But what the loop does is to multiply the boundary by 2 until it is
over the wanted border. This can be avoided by using fls() to get the
boundary value order and shift it by the appropriate number of bits at
once.

This change provides the following profile:

    0.04 :   c057f6e8:       3d 20 7f ff     lis     r9,32767
    0.02 :   c057f6ec:       61 29 ff ff     ori     r9,r9,65535
    0.34 :   c057f6f0:       7d 5a 48 50     subf    r10,r26,r9
    0.23 :   c057f6f4:       7c 1a 50 40     cmplw   r26,r10
    0.02 :   c057f6f8:       41 81 00 20     bgt     c057f718 <snd_pcm_ioctl+0xf08>
    0.26 :   c057f6fc:       7f 47 00 34     cntlzw  r7,r26
    0.09 :   c057f700:       7d 48 00 34     cntlzw  r8,r10
    0.22 :   c057f704:       7d 08 38 50     subf    r8,r8,r7
    0.04 :   c057f708:       7f 5a 40 30     slw     r26,r26,r8
    0.35 :   c057f70c:       7c 0a d0 40     cmplw   r10,r26
    0.13 :   c057f710:       40 80 05 f8     bge     c057fd08 <snd_pcm_ioctl+0x14f8>
    0.00 :   c057f714:       57 5a f8 7e     srwi    r26,r26,1

Total: 1.7% with that loopless alternative.
