[PATCH v2 0/2 net] bitfield.h cleanups

From: Nick Desaulniers
Date: Wed Jul 08 2020 - 19:04:17 EST


Two patches, one that removes a BUILD_BUG_ON for a case that is not a
compile time bug (exposed by compiler optimization).

The second is a general cleanup in the area.

I decided to leave the BUILD_BUG_ON case first, as I hope it will
simplify being able to backport it to stable, and because I don't think
there's any type promotion+conversion bugs there.

Though it would be nice to use consistent types widths and signedness,
equality against literal zero is not an issue.
