Commit Message

  Convert current looping-based implementation into bit operation,
which can bring improvement for:

1) bitops is more efficient for its arch-level optimization.

2) Given that blksize_bits() is inline, _if_ @size is compile-time
constant, it's possible that order_base_2() _may_ make output
compile-time evaluated, depending on code context and compiler behavior.

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/TYCP286MB2323169D81A806A7C1F7FDF1CA309@TYCP286MB2323.JPNP286.PROD.OUTLOOK.COM

v2: Remove the ternary operator, based on Bart's suggestion
    But this may lead to break for corner cases below:
    BUILD_BUG_ON(blksize_bits(1025) != 11);
    So make a minor modification by adding (SECTOR_SIZE - 1) before
    shifting.

v3: Remove the rounding stuff.

I'm not sure if it matters, but the change does look fine to me:

do you have a quantitative date to prove that ?
Also which arch benefits the most ? is it true for all ?

patches like this needs to be supported by the quantitative
data, else I've seen reviewers taking an objection ...

either way :-
