[PATCH] x86/asm/bitops: Use __builtin_clz{l|ll} to evaluate constant expressions

[Nick Desaulniers]

Similar to commit fdb6649ab7c1 ("x86/asm/bitops: Use __builtin_ctzl() to
evaluate constant expressions") and commit 2fcff790dcb4 ("powerpc: Use
builtin functions for fls()/__fls()/fls64()").

>From a recent discussion, I noticed that x86 is lacking an optimization
that appears in arch/powerpc/include/asm/bitops.h related to constant
folding.  If you add a BUILD_BUG_ON(__builtin_constant_p(param)) to
these functions, you'll find that there were cases where the use of
inline asm pessimized the compiler's ability to perform constant folding
resulting in runtime calculation of a value that could have been
computed at compile time.
