[PATCH] block: badblocks: Remove excess comparisons of p[hi - 1]

[Sean Young <sean@mess.org>]

The binary search in prev_badblocks() is correct, but it is doing
excessive comparisons. Once p[hi - 1] is compared we do not have to
compare it again.

Also remove the if after the loop since the condition is always true;
s is always greater or equal too p[lo]; on function entry, if p[lo]) > s
is true we exit early, and then lo is set to mid if p[mid] < s.

The first issue was found with an LLM, the second on code inspection.
