bitmap_parse() is ineffective and full of opaque variables and opencoded parts. It leads to hard understanding and usage of it. This rework includes: - remove bitmap_shift_left() call from the cycle. Now it makes the complexity of the algorithm as O(nbits^2). In the suggested approach the input string is parsed in reverse direction, so no shifts needed; - relax requirement on a single comma and no white spaces between chunks. It is considered useful in scripting, and it aligns with bitmap_parselist(); - split bitmap_parse() to small readable helpers; - make an explicit calculation of the end of input line at the beginning, so users of the bitmap_parse() won't bother doing this.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
