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.
