Subject: [PATCH 4/6] selinux: simplify avtab slot calculation

Instead of dividing by 8 and then performing log2 by hand, use a more
readable calculation.

The behavior of rounddown_pow_of_two() for an input of 0 is undefined,
so handle that case and small values manually to achieve the same
results.
