mempolicy: add bitmap_onto() and bitmap_fold() operations

The following adds two more bitmap operators, bitmap_onto() and bitmap_fold(),
with the usual cpumask and nodemask wrappers.

The bitmap_onto() operator computes one bitmap relative to another.  If the
n-th bit in the origin mask is set, then the m-th bit of the destination mask
will be set, where m is the position of the n-th set bit in the relative mask.

The bitmap_fold() operator folds a bitmap into a second that has bit m set iff
the input bitmap has some bit n set, where m == n mod sz, for the specified sz
value.

There are two substantive changes between this patch and its
predecessor bitmap_relative:
 1) Renamed bitmap_relative() to be bitmap_onto().
 2) Added bitmap_fold().

The essential motivation for bitmap_onto() is to provide a mechanism for
converting a cpuset-relative CPU or Node mask to an absolute mask.  Cpuset
relative masks are written as if the current task were in a cpuset whose CPUs
or Nodes were just the consecutive ones numbered 0..N-1, for some N.  The
bitmap_onto() operator is provided in anticipation of adding support for the
first such cpuset relative mask, by the mbind() and set_mempolicy() system
calls, using a planned flag of MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES.  These bitmap operators
(and their nodemask wrappers, in particular) will be used in code that
converts the user specified cpuset relative memory policy to a specific system
node numbered policy, given the current mems_allowed of the tasks cpuset.

Such cpuset relative mempolicies will address two deficiencies
of the existing interface between cpusets and mempolicies:
 1) A task cannot at present reliably establish a cpuset
    relative mempolicy because there is an essential race
    condition, in that the tasks cpuset may be changed in
    between the time the task can query its cpuset placement,
    and the time the task can issue the applicable mbind or
    set_memplicy system call.
 2) A task cannot at present establish what cpuset relative
    mempolicy it would like to have, if it is in a smaller
    cpuset than it might have mempolicy preferences for,
    because the existing interface only allows specifying
    mempolicies for nodes currently allowed by the cpuset.

Cpuset relative mempolicies are useful for tasks that don't distinguish
particularly between one CPU or Node and another, but only between how many of
each are allowed, and the proper placement of threads and memory pages on the
various CPUs and Nodes available.

The motivation for the added bitmap_fold() can be seen in the following
example.

Let's say an application has specified some mempolicies that presume 16 memory
nodes, including say a mempolicy that specified MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES (cpuset
relative) nodes 12-15.  Then lets say that application is crammed into a
cpuset that only has 8 memory nodes, 0-7.  If one just uses bitmap_onto(),
this mempolicy, mapped to that cpuset, would ignore the requested relative
nodes above 7, leaving it empty of nodes.  That's not good; better to fold the
higher nodes down, so that some nodes are included in the resulting mapped
mempolicy.  In this case, the mempolicy nodes 12-15 are taken modulo 8 (the
weight of the mems_allowed of the confining cpuset), resulting in a mempolicy
specifying nodes 4-7.

+/**
+ * bitmap_onto - translate one bitmap relative to another
+ *	@dst: resulting translated bitmap
+ * 	@orig: original untranslated bitmap
+ * 	@relmap: bitmap relative to which translated
+ *	@bits: number of bits in each of these bitmaps
+ *
+ * Set the n-th bit of @dst iff there exists some m such that the
+ * n-th bit of @relmap is set, the m-th bit of @orig is set, and
+ * the n-th bit of @relmap is also the m-th _set_ bit of @relmap.
+ * (If you understood the previous sentence the first time your
+ * read it, you're overqualified for your current job.)
+ *
+ * In other words, @orig is mapped onto (surjectively) @dst,
+ * using the the map { <n, m> | the n-th bit of @relmap is the
+ * m-th set bit of @relmap }.
+ *
+ * Any set bits in @orig above bit number W, where W is the
+ * weight of (number of set bits in) @relmap are mapped nowhere.
+ * In particular, if for all bits m set in @orig, m >= W, then
+ * @dst will end up empty.  In situations where the possibility
+ * of such an empty result is not desired, one way to avoid it is
+ * to use the bitmap_fold() operator, below, to first fold the
+ * @orig bitmap over itself so that all its set bits x are in the
+ * range 0 <= x < W.  The bitmap_fold() operator does this by
+ * setting the bit (m % W) in @dst, for each bit (m) set in @orig.
+ *
+ * Example [1] for bitmap_onto():
+ *  Let's say @relmap has bits 30-39 set, and @orig has bits
+ *  1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11 set.  Then on return from this routine,
+ *  @dst will have bits 31, 33, 35, 37 and 39 set.
+ *
+ *  When bit 0 is set in @orig, it means turn on the bit in
+ *  @dst corresponding to whatever is the first bit (if any)
+ *  that is turned on in @relmap.  Since bit 0 was off in the
+ *  above example, we leave off that bit (bit 30) in @dst.
+ *
+ *  When bit 1 is set in @orig (as in the above example), it
+ *  means turn on the bit in @dst corresponding to whatever
+ *  is the second bit that is turned on in @relmap.  The second
+ *  bit in @relmap that was turned on in the above example was
+ *  bit 31, so we turned on bit 31 in @dst.
+ *
+ *  Similarly, we turned on bits 33, 35, 37 and 39 in @dst,
+ *  because they were the 4th, 6th, 8th and 10th set bits
+ *  set in @relmap, and the 4th, 6th, 8th and 10th bits of
+ *  @orig (i.e. bits 3, 5, 7 and 9) were also set.
+ *
+ *  When bit 11 is set in @orig, it means turn on the bit in
+ *  @dst corresponding to whatever is the twelth bit that is
+ *  turned on in @relmap.  In the above example, there were
+ *  only ten bits turned on in @relmap (30..39), so that bit
+ *  11 was set in @orig had no affect on @dst.
+ *
+ * Example [2] for bitmap_fold() + bitmap_onto():
+ *  Let's say @relmap has these ten bits set:
+ *		40 41 42 43 45 48 53 61 74 95
+ *  (for the curious, that's 40 plus the first ten terms of the
+ *  Fibonacci sequence.)
+ *
+ *  Further lets say we use the following code, invoking
+ *  bitmap_fold() then bitmap_onto, as suggested above to
+ *  avoid the possitility of an empty @dst result:
+ *
+ *	unsigned long *tmp;	// a temporary bitmap's bits
+ *
+ *	bitmap_fold(tmp, orig, bitmap_weight(relmap, bits), bits);
+ *	bitmap_onto(dst, tmp, relmap, bits);
+ *
+ *  Then this table shows what various values of @dst would be, for
+ *  various @orig's.  I list the zero-based positions of each set bit.
+ *  The tmp column shows the intermediate result, as computed by
+ *  using bitmap_fold() to fold the @orig bitmap modulo ten
+ *  (the weight of @relmap).
+ *
+ *      @orig           tmp            @dst
+ *      0                0             40
+ *      1                1             41
+ *      9                9             95
+ *      10               0             40 (*)
+ *      1 3 5 7          1 3 5 7       41 43 48 61
+ *      0 1 2 3 4        0 1 2 3 4     40 41 42 43 45
+ *      0 9 18 27        0 9 8 7       40 61 74 95
+ *      0 10 20 30       0             40
+ *      0 11 22 33       0 1 2 3       40 41 42 43

+ *      78 102 211       1 2 8         41 42 74 (*)
+ *
+ * (*) For these marked lines, if we hadn't first done bitmap_fold()
+ *     into tmp, then the @dst result would have been empty.
+ *
+ * If either of @orig or @relmap is empty (no set bits), then @dst
+ * will be returned empty.
+ *
+ * If (as explained above) the only set bits in @orig are in positions
+ * m where m >= W, (where W is the weight of @relmap) then @dst will
+ * once again be returned empty.
+ *
+ * All bits in @dst not set by the above rule are cleared.
