bitops: Introduce assign_bit()
A common idiom is to assign a value to a bit with: if (value) set_bit(nr, addr); else clear_bit(nr, addr); Likewise common is the one-line expression variant: value ? set_bit(nr, addr) : clear_bit(nr, addr); Commit 9a8ac3ae ("dm mpath: cleanup QUEUE_IF_NO_PATH bit manipulation by introducing assign_bit()") introduced assign_bit() to the md subsystem for brevity. Make it available to others, specifically gpiolib and the upcoming driver for Maxim MAX3191x industrial serializer chips. As requested by Peter Zijlstra, change the argument order to reflect traditional "dst = src" in C, hence "assign_bit(nr, addr, value)".
