[09/12] lib: add fast path for find_next_*_bit()

Commit Message

Similarly to bitmap functions, find_next_*_bit() users will benefit
if we'll handle a case of bitmaps that fit into a single word inline.
In the very best case, the compiler may replace a function call with
a few instructions.

This is the quite typical find_next_bit() user:

	unsigned int cpumask_next(int n, const struct cpumask *srcp)
	{
		/* -1 is a legal arg here. */
		if (n != -1)
			cpumask_check(n);
		return find_next_bit(cpumask_bits(srcp), nr_cpumask_bits, n + 1);
	}
	EXPORT_SYMBOL(cpumask_next);

Currently, on ARM64 the generated code looks like this:
	0000000000000000 <cpumask_next>:
	   0:   a9bf7bfd        stp     x29, x30, [sp, #-16]!
	   4:   11000402        add     w2, w0, #0x1
	   8:   aa0103e0        mov     x0, x1
	   c:   d2800401        mov     x1, #0x40                       // #64
	  10:   910003fd        mov     x29, sp
	  14:   93407c42        sxtw    x2, w2
	  18:   94000000        bl      0 <find_next_bit>
	  1c:   a8c17bfd        ldp     x29, x30, [sp], #16
	  20:   d65f03c0        ret
	  24:   d503201f        nop

After applying this patch:
	0000000000000140 <cpumask_next>:
	 140:   11000400        add     w0, w0, #0x1
	 144:   93407c00        sxtw    x0, w0
	 148:   f100fc1f        cmp     x0, #0x3f
	 14c:   54000168        b.hi    178 <cpumask_next+0x38>  // b.pmore
	 150:   f9400023        ldr     x3, [x1]
	 154:   92800001        mov     x1, #0xffffffffffffffff         // #-1
	 158:   9ac02020        lsl     x0, x1, x0
	 15c:   52800802        mov     w2, #0x40                       // #64
	 160:   8a030001        and     x1, x0, x3
	 164:   dac00020        rbit    x0, x1
	 168:   f100003f        cmp     x1, #0x0
	 16c:   dac01000        clz     x0, x0
	 170:   1a800040        csel    w0, w2, w0, eq  // eq = none
	 174:   d65f03c0        ret
	 178:   52800800        mov     w0, #0x40                       // #64
	 17c:   d65f03c0        ret

find_next_bit() call is replaced with 6 instructions. find_next_bit()
itself is 41 instructions plus function call overhead.

Despite inlining, the scripts/bloat-o-meter report smaller .text size
after applying the series:
	add/remove: 11/9 grow/shrink: 233/176 up/down: 5780/-6768 (-988)
