Subject: [PATCH] lib: avoid soft lockup in test_find_first_bit()

test_find_first_bit() is intentionally sub-optimal,
and may cause soft lockup due to long time of run on some systems.
So decrease length of bitmap to traverse to avoid lockup.

With the change below, time of test execution doesn't exceed 0.2
seconds on my testing system.
