Alexander Lobakin 7d8296b250 bitops: make BYTES_TO_BITS() treewide-available
Avoid open-coding that simple expression each time by moving
BYTES_TO_BITS() from the probes code to <linux/bitops.h> to export
it to the rest of the kernel.
Simplify the macro while at it. `BITS_PER_LONG / sizeof(long)` always
equals to %BITS_PER_BYTE, regardless of the target architecture.
Do the same for the tools ecosystem as well (incl. its version of
bitops.h). The previous implementation had its implicit type of long,
while the new one is int, so adjust the format literal accordingly in
the perf code.

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 reStructuredText 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.
