sched: change wake_up_bit() and related function to expect unsigned long *

wake_up_bit() currently allows a "void *".  While this isn't strictly a
problem as the address is never dereferenced, it is inconsistent with
the corresponding wait_on_bit() which requires "unsigned long *" and
does dereference the pointer.

Any code that needs to wait for a change in something other than an
unsigned long would be better served by wake_up_var()/wait_var_event().

This patch changes all related "void *" to "unsigned long *".
