[PATCH] lib/bitmap.c: add some check to correct the parse result

[Pan Xinhui]

Sometimes the input from user may cause an unexpected result.

for example, echo "1-3," > /proc/irq/<xxx>/smp_affinity_list.
The correct result should be 1-3, however we got 0-4.

To avoid this issue, we check if there is a ready digit.
If no valid digit is set, we just continue to the next parse.
