In arch/powerpc/include/asm/bitops.h, the comments about bit numbers in
large (> 1 word) bitmaps have two typos:
- On ppc64 system, the LSB of the 4th word should be bit 192 rather than
  196, because if it's bit 196, bit 192-195 will be missing in the
  bitmap.
- On ppc32 system, the LSB of the second word should be bit 32 rather
  than 31, because bit 31 is already in the first word.

This patch fixes these typos.

+ *   |63..............0|127............64|191...........128|255...........192|
  * and on ppc32:

  * There are a few little-endian macros used mostly for filesystem
  * bitmaps, these work on similar bit arrays layouts, but
