blist: Correct the node count computed in blist_create()

Description

blist: Correct the node count computed in blist_create()

Commit bb4a27f927a1 added the ability to allocate a span of blocks
crossing a meta node boundary. To ensure that blst_next_leaf_alloc()
does not walk past the end of the tree, an extra all-zero meta node
needs to be present at the end of the allocation, and
blst_next_leaf_alloc() is implemented such that the presence of this
node terminates the search.

blist_create() computes the number of nodes required. It had two
problems:

  1. When the size of the blist is a power of BLIST_RADIX, we would unnecessarily allocate an extra level in the tree.
  2. When the size of the blist is a multiple of BLIST_RADIX, we would fail to allocate a terminator node. In this case, blst_next_leaf_alloc() could scan beyond the bounds of the allocation. This was found using KASAN.

Modify blist_create() to handle these cases correctly.
