include/linux/bitops.h: sanitize rotate primitives
The ror32 implementation (word >> shift) | (word << (32 - shift) has undefined behaviour if shift is outside the [1, 31] range. Similarly for the 64 bit variants. Most callers pass a compile-time constant (naturally in that range), but there's an UBSAN report that these may actually be called with a shift count of 0. Instead of special-casing that, we can make them DTRT for all values of shift while also avoiding UB. For some reason, this was already partly done for rol32 (which was well-defined for [0, 31]). gcc 8 recognizes these patterns as rotates, so for example __u32 rol32(__u32 word, unsigned int shift) { return (word << (shift & 31)) | (word >> ((-shift) & 31)); } compiles to 0000000000000020 <rol32>: 20: 89 f8 mov %edi,%eax 22: 89 f1 mov %esi,%ecx 24: d3 c0 rol %cl,%eax 26: c3 retq Older compilers unfortunately do not do as well, but this only affects the small minority of users that don't pass constants. Due to integer promotions, ro[lr]8 were already well-defined for shifts in [0, 8], and ro[lr]16 were mostly well-defined for shifts in [0, 16] (only mostly - u16 gets promoted to _signed_ int, so if bit 15 is set, word << 16 is undefined). For consistency, update those as well.
