md: Convert remaining 1k representations in linear.c to sectors.
This patch renames hash_spacing and preshift to spacing and sector_shift respectively with the following change of semantics: Case 1: (sizeof(sector_t) <= sizeof(u32)). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In this case, we have sector_shift = preshift = 0 and spacing = 2 * hash_spacing. Hence, the index for the hash table which is computed by the new code in which_dev() as sector / spacing equals the old value which was (sector/2) / hash_spacing. Note also that the value of nb_zone stays the same because both sz and base double. Case 2: (sizeof(sector_t) > sizeof(u32)). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (aka the shifting dance case). Here we have sector_shift = preshift + 1 and spacing = 2 * hash_spacing during the computation of nb_zone and curr_sector, but spacing = hash_spacing in which_dev() because in the last hunk of the patch for linear.c we shift down conf->spacing (= 2 * hash_spacing) by one more bit than in the old code. Hence in the computation of nb_zone, sz and base have the same value as before, so nb_zone is not affected. Also curr_sector in the next hunk stays the same. In which_dev() the hash table index is computed as (sector >> sector_shift) / spacing In view of sector_shift = preshift + 1 and spacing = hash_spacing, this equals ((sector/2) >> preshift) / hash_spacing which is the value computed by the old code.
