ocfs2: Don't hand-code xor in ocfs2_hamming_encode().
When I wrote ocfs2_hamming_encode(), I was following documentation of
the algorithm and didn't have quite the (possibly still imperfect) grasp
of it I do now. As part of this, I literally hand-coded xor. I would
test a bit, and then add that bit via xor to the parity word.
I can, of course, just do a single xor of the parity word and the source
word (the code buffer bit offset). This cuts CPU usage by 53% on a
mostly populated buffer (an inode containing utmp.h inline).
