Subject: locking/atomics, asm-generic: Move some macros from <linux/bitops.h> to a new <linux/bits.h> file

From: Will Deacon <[email-masked]>

commit 8bd9cb51daac89337295b6f037b0486911e1b408 upstream.

In preparation for implementing the asm-generic atomic bitops in terms
of atomic_long_*(), we need to prevent <asm/atomic.h> implementations from
pulling in <linux/bitops.h>. A common reason for this include is for the
BITS_PER_BYTE definition, so move this and some other BIT() and masking
macros into a new header file, <linux/bits.h>.
