Previously the bitseq alloc was allocating the first available bit from the beginning of the bit sequence for each sequence handle. With this commit the bitseq alloc will proceed
from the current allocation. This change will affect the way ipam and vni
allocation is done currently. The ip allocation will prcoeeed sequentially from the previous allocation as opposed to the first available IP. So even if the IPs are released it will not be reused until the allocator rolls over to the beginner of the bit sequence.
The commit also contains a fix for byteoffset allocation which plays a role in calculating the allocated ordinal. This scenerio play when the starting ordinal is part of the head sequence block and the available bit is part of subsequent blocks in the bitseq.
