This patch adds the generic implementation of binary search algorithm
which is copied from Linux kernel v4.7-rc7. No functional changes.

Changes since v2:
 Fixed the compilation issue due to a missing ';'.
 Fixed typo.

Changes since v1:
 Removed the header file xen/include/xen/bsearch.h.
 Defined function bsearch() prototype in the header file xen/lib.h.
