From: "Jason A. Donenfeld" <Jason@xxxxxxxxx> commit 77fc95f8c0dc9e1f8e620ec14d2fb65028fb7adc upstream. Rather than accounting in bytes and multiplying (shifting), we can just account in bits and avoid the shift. The main motivation for this is there are other patches in flux that expand this code a bit, and avoiding the duplication of "* 8" everywhere makes things a bit clearer.
