Subject: [PATCH] lib: Avoid redundant sizeof checking in __bitmap_weight() calculation.

Currently, during __bitmap_weight() calculation hweight_long() is used.
Inside a hweight_long() a check has been made to figure out whether a
hweight32() or hweight64() version to use.

However, it's unnecessary to do it in case of __bitmap_weight() calculation
inside the loop. We can detect whether to use hweight32() or hweight64()
upfront and call respective function directly. It also reduces the
vmlinux size.

Before the patch:
text data bss dec hex filename
12901332 7798930 14541816 35242078 219c05e vmlinux

After the patch:
text data bss dec hex filename
12901331 7798930 14541816 35242077 219c05d vmlinux

hint: sizeof() very rarely evaluates to zero... So this is the same as
"is32 = 1". So the patch as-is is broken (and may explain the 1-byte
delta in vmlinux). But even if this condition is fixed, the patch
doesn't change anything, since the sizeof() evaluation is done at
compile-time, regardless of whether it happens inside the inlined
hweight_long or outside. So it is certainly not worth it to duplicate
the loop.
