Thank you. I haven't thought that way.
But I think if we implement reverse traversing using find_last_bit(),
we have a problem.
Suppose the last bit 0, 1, 2, is set.
If we start
    find_last_bit(bitmap, 3) ==> return 2;
    find_last_bit(bitmap, 2) ==> return 1;
    find_last_bit(bitmap, 1) ==> return 0;
    find_last_bit(bitmap, 0) ===> return 0? // here we couldn't
distinguish size 0 input or 0 is set

and the for_each traverse routine prevent above case by returning size
(nbits) using find_next_bit.
So, for compatibility and the same expected return value like next traversing,
I think we need to find_prev_*_bit routine. if my understanding is correct.

Not only this, I think 'steal_from_bitmap_to_front' can be improved
using ffind_prev_zero_bit
like
