Fix cut & paste error in header comment.
Simplify implementation a bit.

Rusty, we're using a similar mechanism for finding the highest slot ID
in use in the nfsv4.1 slot table and I'm going to moev it over to
using find_last_bit in our 2.6.29 patchset.
While going over your implementation I noticed a tiny cut & paste error in
bitops.h and I'd also like to propose a couple simplifications to make
the implementation a bit more readable (at least to me :).
