cleanup: fix possible overflow errors in binary search

A common mistake when writing binary search is to allow possible
integer overflow by using the simple average:

	mid = (min + max) / 2;

Instead, use the overflow-safe version:

	mid = min + (max - min) / 2;

This translation is safe since the operation occurs inside a loop
conditioned on "min < max". The included changes were found using
the following git grep:

	git grep '/ *2;' '*.c'

Making this cleanup will prevent future review friction when a new
binary search is contructed based on existing code.
