sched: Optimize __calc_delta()

A significant portion of __calc_delta() time is spent in the loop
shifting a u64 by 32 bits. Use `fls` instead of iterating.

This is ~7x faster on benchmarks.

The generic `fls` implementation (`generic_fls`) is still ~4x faster
than the loop.
Architectures that have a better implementation will make use of it. For
example, on x86 we get an additional factor 2 in speed without dedicated
implementation.

On GCC, the asm versions of `fls` are about the same speed as the
builtin. On Clang, the versions that use fls are more than twice as
slow as the builtin. This is because the way the `fls` function is
written, clang puts the value in memory:
https://godbolt.org/z/EfMbYe. This bug is filed at
https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?idI406.
