Subject[PATCH] kernel: timer.c: Small improvement in apply_slack()
Date
In apply_slack(), find_last_bit() is applied to a bitmask consisting
of precisely BITS_PER_LONG bits. Since mask is non-zero, we might as
well eliminate the function call and use __fls() directly. On x86_64,
this shaves 22 bytes of the only caller, mod_timer().

Found through Coverity CID 1192106, but that is a false positive,
since Coverity is not aware that mask != 0 implies that find_last_bit
will not return BITS_PER_LONG.
