x86/bitops: Simplify variable_ffz() as variable__ffs(~word)

Find first zero (FFZ) can be implemented by negating the
input and using find first set (FFS).

Before/after code generation comparison on ffz()-using
kernel code shows that code generation has not changed:

# kernel/signal.o:

text data bss dec hex filename
42121 3472 8 45601 b221 signal.o.before
42121 3472 8 45601 b221 signal.o.after

md5:
ce4c31e1bce96af19b62a5f9659842f1 signal.o.before.asm
ce4c31e1bce96af19b62a5f9659842f1 signal.o.after.asm

[ mingo: Added code generation check. ]
