libihash: use fast binary scaling to determine the load
Expressing the maximum load in binary percent (where 128b% corresponds
to 100%) allows us to use fast binary scaling to determine if the
maximum load has been reached without losing precision.
Furthermore, the previously used expression 'ht->nr_items * 100'
overflows int at 2^25 (unsigned int at 2^26). When a hash table
reached that limit, it would fail to resize and fill up the table.
This change fixes that.
* libihash/ihash.c (hurd_ihash_set_max_load): Update the comment.
(hurd_ihash_add): Use fast binary scaling to determine the current
load.
* libihash/ihash.h (struct hurd_ihash): Update comment for max_load.
(hurd_ihash_set_max_load): Update the comment.
