[XFS] Use power-of-2 sized buffers to reduce overhead

Now that the ktrace_enter() code is using atomics, the non-power-of-2
buffer sizes - which require modulus operations to get the index - are
showing up as using substantial CPU in the profiles.

Force the buffer sizes to be rounded up to the nearest power of two and
use masking rather than modulus operations to convert the index counter to
the buffer index. This reduces ktrace_enter overhead to 8% of a CPU time,
and again almost halves the trace intensive test runtime.
