ocfs2: One more hamming code optimization.

The previous optimization used a fast find-highest-bit-set operation to
give us a good starting point in calc_code_bit().  This version lets the
caller cache the previous code buffer bit offset.  Thus, the next call
always starts where the last one left off.

This reduces the calculation another 39%, for a total 80% reduction from
the original, naive implementation.  At least, on my machine.  This also
brings the parity calculation to within an order of magnitude of the
crc32 calculation.
