lib: add find_nth(,and,andnot)_bit()
Kernel lacks for a function that searches for Nth bit in a bitmap. Usually people do it like this: for_each_set_bit(bit, mask, size) if (n-- == 0) return bit; We can do it more efficiently, if we: 1. find a word containing Nth bit, using hweight(); and 2. find the bit, using a helper fns(), that works similarly to __ffs() and ffz(). fns() is implemented as a simple loop. For x86_64, there's PDEP instruction to do that: ret = clz(pdep(1 << idx, num)). However, for large bitmaps the most of improvement comes from using hweight(), so I kept fns() simple. New find_nth_bit() is ~70 times faster on x86_64/kvm: find_nth_bit: 7154190 ns, 16411 iterations for_each_bit: 505493126 ns, 16315 iterations With all that, a family of 3 new functions is added, and used where appropriate in the following patches.
