Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] ras: fix an off-by-one error in __find_elem()

ce_arr.array[] is always within the range [0, ce_arr.n-1].
However, the binary search code in __find_elem() uses ce_arr.n
as the maximum index, which could lead to an off-by-one
out-of-bound access right after the while loop. In this case,
we should not even read it, just return -ENOKEY instead.

Note, this could cause a kernel crash if ce_arr.n is exactly
MAX_ELEMS.
