[2.6.6-BK] x86_64 has buggy ffs() implementation

[Anton Altaparmakov]

Hi Andi, Andrew, Linus,

x86_64 has incorrect include/asm-x86_64/bitops.h::ffs() implementation. 
It uses "g" instead of "rm" in the insline assembled bsfl instruction. 
(This was spotted by Yuri Per.)

bsfl does not accept constant values but only memory ones.  On i386 the
correct "rm" is used.

This causes NTFS build to fail as gcc optimizes a variable into a
constant and ffs() then fails to assemble.

Please apply below patch.  Thanks!

Best regards,

	Anton
