    cpumask: make "nr_cpumask_bits" unsigned · c311c797
    Alexey Dobriyan authored
    Bit searching functions accept "unsigned long" indices but
    "nr_cpumask_bits" is "int" which is signed, so inevitable sign
    extensions occur on x86_64.  Those MOVSX are #1 MOVSX bloat by number of
    uses across whole kernel.
    
    Change "nr_cpumask_bits" to unsigned, this number can't be negative
    after all.  It allows to do implicit zero-extension on x86_64 without
    MOVSX.
    
    Change signed comparisons into unsigned comparisons where necessary.
    
    Other uses looks fine because it is either argument passed to a function
    or comparison is already unsigned.

    Same arguments apply to "nr_cpu_ids" but I haven't yet found enough
    courage to delve into this issue (and proper fix may require new type
    "cpu_t" which is whole separate story).
