We could go with bitmap_write(..., BITS_PER_LONG + 1):

        /*
         * Setting/getting more than BITS_PER_LONG bits should not crash the
         * kernel. READ_ONCE() prevents constant folding.
         */
        bitmap_write(NULL, 0, 0, READ_ONCE(bits_per_long) + 1);
        /* Return value of bitmap_read() is undefined here. */
        bitmap_read(NULL, 0, READ_ONCE(bits_per_long) + 1);

I'll add the above code in v8 (sometime next week, hope to receive
some comments from the ARM folks).
