Clement Courbet 0ade34c370 lib: optimize cpumask_next_and()
We've measured that we spend ~0.6% of sys cpu time in cpumask_next_and().
It's essentially a joined iteration in search for a non-zero bit, which is
currently implemented as a lookup join (find a nonzero bit on the lhs,
lookup the rhs to see if it's set there).

Implement a direct join (find a nonzero bit on the incrementally built
join).  Also add generic bitmap benchmarks in the new `test_find_bit`
module for new function (see `find_next_and_bit` in [2] and [3] below).

For cpumask_next_and, direct benchmarking shows that it's 1.17x to 14x
faster with a geometric mean of 2.1 on 32 CPUs [1].  No impact on memory
usage.  Note that on Arm, the new pure-C implementation still outperforms
the old one that uses a mix of C and asm (`find_next_bit`) [3].

[1] Approximate benchmark code:

```
  unsigned long src1p[nr_cpumask_longs] = {pattern1};
  unsigned long src2p[nr_cpumask_longs] = {pattern2};
  for (/*a bunch of repetitions*/) {
    for (int n = -1; n <= nr_cpu_ids; ++n) {
      asm volatile("" : "+rm"(src1p)); // prevent any optimization
      asm volatile("" : "+rm"(src2p));
      unsigned long result = cpumask_next_and(n, src1p, src2p);
      asm volatile("" : "+rm"(result));
    }
  }
```

Results:
pattern1    pattern2     time_before/time_after

0x0000ffff  0x00005555   2.24
