[PATCH] bitops: generic find_{next,first}{,_zero}_bit()

This patch introduces the C-language equivalents of the functions below:

unsigned logn find_next_bit(const unsigned long *addr, unsigned long size,
                            unsigned long offset);
unsigned long find_next_zero_bit(const unsigned long *addr, unsigned long size,
                                 unsigned long offset);
unsigned long find_first_zero_bit(const unsigned long *addr,
                                  unsigned long size);
unsigned long find_first_bit(const unsigned long *addr, unsigned long size);

In include/asm-generic/bitops/find.h

This code largely copied from: arch/powerpc/lib/bitops.c
