Subject: [PATCH 2/5] bcachefs: Introduce parent function for sort_cmp_size()

When dealing with array indices, the parent's index can be obtained
using the formula (i - 1) / 2. However, when working with byte offsets,
this approach is not straightforward. To address this, we have
introduced a branch-free parent function that does not require any
division operations to calculate the parent's byte offset.

This patch has undergone unit testing using the following code [1].

[1]:
static int test(void)
{
    size_t i, p, size, lsbit;

    for (i = 0; i < 10000; i++) {
        size = get_random_u32() % (1U << 10);
        lsbit = size & -size;
        i = get_random_u32() % (1U << 20) * size + size;
        p = parent(i, lsbit, size);
        if (p != (i / size - 1) / 2 * size)
            return -1;
    }

    return 0;
}
