Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] linux/bits.h: fix unsigned less than zero warnings

When calling the GENMASK and GENMASK_ULL macros with zero lower bit and
an unsigned unknown high bit, some gcc versions warn due to the
comparisons of the high and low bit in GENMASK_INPUT_CHECK.

To silence the warnings, only perform the check if both inputs are
known. This does not trigger any warnings, from the Wtype-limits help:

	Warn if a comparison is always true or always false due to the
	limited range of the data type, but do not warn for constant
	expressions.

As an example of the warning, kindly reported by the kbuild test robot:

from drivers/mfd/atmel-smc.c:11:
drivers/mfd/atmel-smc.c: In function 'atmel_smc_cs_encode_ncycles':
include/linux/bits.h:26:28: warning: comparison of unsigned expression < 0 is always false [-Wtype-limits]
26 |   __builtin_constant_p((l) > (h)), (l) > (h), 0)))
|                            ^
include/linux/build_bug.h:16:62: note: in definition of macro 'BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO'

|                                                              ^
include/linux/bits.h:39:3: note: in expansion of macro 'GENMASK_INPUT_CHECK'
39 |  (GENMASK_INPUT_CHECK(h, l) + __GENMASK(h, l))

49 |  unsigned int lsbmask = GENMASK(msbpos - 1, 0);
