From: Raphael S.Carvalho <raphael.sc...@gmail.com>

Notes: find_next_offset searches for an available "cleaned bit"
in the respective pid bitmap (page), so returns the offset if found,
otherwise it returns a value equals to BITS_PER_PAGE.

For example, suppose find_next_offset didn't find any available
bit, so there's no purpose to call mk_pid (Wasteful Cpu Cycles).

Therefore, I found it could be better to call mk_pid after
the checking (offset < BITS_PER_PAGE) returned sucessfully!
Another point: If (offset < BITS_PER_PAGE) results in a "failure",
then mk_pid would be called again afterwards.
