RAS/CEC: Fix binary search function
Switch to using Donald Knuth's binary search algorithm (The Art of Computer Programming, vol. 3, section 6.2.1). This should've been done from the very beginning but the author must've been smoking something very potent at the time. The problem with the current one was that it would return the wrong element index in certain situations: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/CAM_iQpVd02zkVJ846cj-Fg1yUNuz6tY5q1Vpj4LrXmE06dPYYg@mail.gmail.com and the noodling code after the loop was fishy at best. So switch to using Knuth's binary search. The final result is much cleaner and straightforward.
