[PATCH 44/48] [GFS2] Faster gfs2_bitfit algorithm

[swhiteho]

From: Bob Peterson <rpeterso@xxxxxxxxxx>

This version of the gfs2_bitfit algorithm includes the latest
suggestions from Steve Whitehouse.  It is typically eight to
ten times faster than the version we're using today.  If there
is a lot of metadata mixed in (lots of small files) the
algorithm is often 15 times faster, and given the right
conditions, I've seen peaks of 20 times faster.
