Subject: [PATCH 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 when the element after the last is exactly
the one just got deleted, that is, 'min' returned to caller as
'ce_arr.n'.
