lib/vsprintf: implement bitmap printing through '%*pb[l]'

bitmap and its derivatives such as cpumask and nodemask currently only
provide formatting functions which put the output string into the
provided buffer; however, how long this buffer should be isn't defined
anywhere and given that some of these bitmaps can be too large to be
formatted into an on-stack buffer it users sometimes are unnecessarily
forced to come up with creative solutions and compromises for the
buffer just to printk these bitmaps.

There have been a couple different attempts at making this easier.

1. Way back, PeterZ tried printk '%pb' extension with the precision
   for bit width - '%.*pb'.  This was intuitive and made sense but
   unfortunately triggered a compile warning about using precision
   for a pointer.

   http://lkml.kernel.org/g/1336577562.2527.58.camel@twins

2. I implemented bitmap_pr_cont[_list]() and its wrappers for cpumask
   and nodemask.  This works but PeterZ pointed out that pr_cont's
   tendency to produce broken lines when multiple CPUs are printing is
   bothering considering the usages.

   http://lkml.kernel.org/g/1418226774-30215-3-git-send-email-tj@kernel.org

So, this patch is another attempt at teaching printk and friends how
to print bitmaps.  It's almost identical to what PeterZ tried with
precision but it uses the field width for the number of bits instead
of precision.  The format used is '%*pb[l]', with the optional
trailing 'l' specifying list format instead of hex masks.

This is a valid format string and doesn't trigger compiler warnings;
however, it does make it impossible to specify output field width when
printing bitmaps.  I think this is an acceptable trade-off given how
much easier it makes printing bitmaps and that we don't have any
in-kernel user which is using the field width specification.  If any
future user wants to use field width with a bitmap, it'd have to
format the bitmap into a string buffer and then print that buffer with
width spec, which isn't different from how it should be done now.

This patch implements bitmap[_list]_string() which are called from the
vsprintf pointer() formatting function.  The implementation is mostly
identical to bitmap_scn[list]printf() except that the output is
performed in the vsprintf way.  These functions handle formatting into
too small buffers and sprintf() family of functions report the correct
overrun output length.

bitmap_scn[list]printf() are now thin wrappers around scnprintf().
