Subject: int_sqrt() adjustments


__fls() is returning an unsigned long, but fls() and fls64() are
both returning a (signed) int.
As we need a signed int as right operand of "<<" (as Linus pointed out),
change __fls() to fls() for 32bit and also adjust masking the lowest bit
to be a signed int.
Now the 32bit and the 64bit version are again similar.

best regards,

Florian La Roche
