btrfs: do unsigned integer division in the extent buffer binary search loop

In the search loop of the binary search function, we are doing a division
by 2 of the sum of the high and low slots. Because the slots are integers,
the generated assembly code for it is the following on x86_64:

   0x00000000000141f1 <+145>:	mov    %eax,%ebx
   0x00000000000141f3 <+147>:	shr    $0x1f,%ebx
   0x00000000000141f6 <+150>:	add    %eax,%ebx
   0x00000000000141f8 <+152>:	sar    %ebx

It's a few more instructions than a simple right shift, because signed
integer division needs to round towards zero. However we know that slots
can never be negative (btrfs_header_nritems() returns an u32), so we
can instead use unsigned types for the low and high slots and therefore
use unsigned integer division, which results in a single instruction on
x86_64:

   0x00000000000141f0 <+144>:	shr    %ebx

So use unsigned types for the slots and therefore unsigned division.

This is part of a small patchset comprised of the following two patches:

  btrfs: eliminate extra call when doing binary search on extent buffer
  btrfs: do unsigned integer division in the extent buffer binary search loop

The following fs_mark test was run on a non-debug kernel (Debian's default
kernel config) before and after applying the patchset:

  $ cat test.sh
  #!/bin/bash

  DEV=/dev/sdi
  MNT=/mnt/sdi
  MOUNT_OPTIONS="-o ssd"
  MKFS_OPTIONS="-O no-holes -R free-space-tree"
  FILES=100000
  THREADS=$(nproc --all)
  FILE_SIZE=0

  umount $DEV &> /dev/null
  mkfs.btrfs -f $MKFS_OPTIONS $DEV
  mount $MOUNT_OPTIONS $DEV $MNT

  OPTS="-S 0 -L 6 -n $FILES -s $FILE_SIZE -t $THREADS -k"
  for ((i = 1; i <= $THREADS; i++)); do
      OPTS="$OPTS -d $MNT/d$i"
  done

  fs_mark $OPTS

  umount $MNT
