[PATCH] fs/buffer.c: Loop rewrite within grow_buffers for findingsizebits

[John Anthony Kazos Jr.]

From: John Anthony Kazos Jr. <jakj@xxxxxxxxxxx>

This patch alters the (do...while) construct to a simple (while) and saves 
one increment operation. It's entirely possible that gcc optimizes away 
the first iteration anyway, but in case it doesn't (and also because it's 
easier to read this way), I think this is better.
