Rasmus Villemoes 2fbad29917 lib: bitmap: change bitmap_shift_right to take unsigned parameters
I've previously changed the nbits parameter of most bitmap_* functions to
unsigned; now it is bitmap_shift_{left,right}'s turn.  This alone saves
some .text, but while at it I found that there were a few other things one
could do.  The end result of these seven patches is

  $ scripts/bloat-o-meter /tmp/bitmap.o.{old,new}
  add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/2 up/down: 0/-328 (-328)
  function                                     old     new   delta
  __bitmap_shift_right                         384     226    -158
  __bitmap_shift_left                          306     136    -170

and less importantly also a smaller stack footprint

  $ stack-o-meter.pl master bitmap
  file                 function                       old  new  delta
  lib/bitmap.o         __bitmap_shift_right             24    8  -16
  lib/bitmap.o         __bitmap_shift_left              24    0  -24

For each pair of 0 <= shift <= nbits <= 256 I've tested the end result
with a few randomly filled src buffers (including garbage beyond nbits),
in each case verifying that the shift {left,right}-most bits of dst are
zero and the remaining nbits-shift bits correspond to src, so I'm fairly
confident I didn't screw up.  That hasn't stopped me from being wrong
before, though.

This patch (of 7):

gcc can generate slightly better code for stuff like "nbits %
BITS_PER_LONG" when it knows nbits is not negative.  Since negative size
bitmaps or shift amounts don't make sense, change these parameters of
bitmap_shift_right to unsigned.

The expressions involving "lim - 1" are still ok, since if lim is 0 the
loop is never executed.

Also use "shift" and "nbits" consistently for the parameter names.
