[PATCH v6 00/12] lib/find_bit: fast path for small bitmaps

[Yury Norov]

Bitmap operations are much simpler and faster in case of small bitmaps
which fit into a single word. In linux/bitmap.c we have a machinery that
allows compiler to replace actual function call with a few instructions
if bitmaps passed into the function are small and their size is known at
compile time.

find_*_bit() API lacks this functionality; but users will benefit from it
a lot. One important example is cpumask subsystem when
NR_CPUS <= BITS_PER_LONG.

v6 is mostly a resend. The only change comparing to v5 is a fix of
small_const_nbits() synchronization patch.

v5: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arch/20210321215457.588554-1-yury.norov@xxxxxxxxx/T/
v6: - sync small_const_nbits() properly (patch 6).
    - Rasmus' ack added.
