[for-linus][PATCH 10/15] ftrace: Simplify the hash calculation

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Tue Oct 06 2020 - 10:35:32 EST


From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>

No need to add a check to subtract the number of bits if bits is zero after
fls(). Just divide the size by two before calling it. This does give the
same answer for size of 0 and 1, but that's fine.
