linux/bitmap.h: remove redundant uses of small_const_nbits()
In the _zero, _fill and _copy functions, the small_const_nbits branch is
redundant. If nbits is small and const, gcc knows full well that
BITS_TO_LONGS(nbits) is 1, so len is also a compile-time constant
(sizeof(long)), and calling memset or memcpy with a length argument of
sizeof(long) makes gcc generate the expected code anyway:
#include <string.h>
void a(unsigned long *x) { memset(x, 0, 8); }
void b(unsigned long *x) { memset(x, 0xff, 8); }
void c(unsigned long *x, const unsigned long *y) { memcpy(x, y, 8); }
turns into
