commit f8ae107eef upstream.
The initial value (@m) compute is:
m = 1UL << (BITS_PER_LONG - 2);
while (m > x)
m >>= 2;
Which is a linear search for the highest even bit smaller or equal to @x
We can implement this using a binary search using __fls() (or better when
its hardware implemented).
m = 1UL << (__fls(x) & ~1UL);
Especially for small values of @x; which are the more common arguments
when doing a CDF on idle times; the linear search is near to worst case,
while the binary search of __fls() is a constant 6 (or 5 on 32bit)
branches.

Cold numbers have a LFSR based branch trace buffer 'confuser' ran between
each int_sqrt() invocation.
