lib: find_*_bit reimplementation

This patchset does rework to find_bit function family to achieve better
performance, and decrease size of text.  All rework is done in patch 1.
Patches 2 and 3 are about code moving and renaming.

It was boot-tested on x86_64 and MIPS (big-endian) machines.
Performance tests were ran on userspace with code like this:

	/* addr[] is filled from /dev/urandom */
	start = clock();
	while (ret < nbits)
		ret = find_next_bit(addr, nbits, ret + 1);

	end = clock();
	printf("%ld\t", (unsigned long) end - start);

On Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz measurements are: (for
find_next_bit, nbits is 8M, for find_first_bit - 80K)

	find_next_bit:		find_first_bit:
	new	current		new	current
	26932	43151		14777	14925
	26947	43182		14521	15423
	26507	43824		15053	14705
	27329	43759		14473	14777
	26895	43367		14847	15023
	26990	43693		15103	15163
	26775	43299		15067	15232
	27282	42752		14544	15121
	27504	43088		14644	14858
	26761	43856		14699	15193
	26692	43075		14781	14681
	27137	42969		14451	15061
	...			...

find_next_bit performance gain is 35-40%;
find_first_bit - no measurable difference.

On ARM machine, there is arch-specific implementation for find_bit.

Thanks a lot to George Spelvin and Rasmus Villemoes for hints and
helpful discussions.

This patch (of 3):

New implementations takes less space in source file (see diffstat) and in
object.  For me it's 710 vs 453 bytes of text.  It also shows better
performance.

find_last_bit description fixed due to obvious typo.
