[PATCH] bitmap: Fix optimization of bitmap_set/clear for big-endian machines

Commit 2a98dc028f91 ("include/linux/bitmap.h: turn bitmap_set and
bitmap_clear into memset when possible", 2017-07-10) added an
optimization which effectively assumes that a contiguous set of
bits in a bitmap will be stored in a contiguous set of bytes of
the bitmap, in the case where the starting bit number and number of
bits are multiples of 8. This is true for a little-endian
representation, but not for a big-endian representation, because we
number the bits of a long from right to left for both little-endian
and big-endian representations.
The optimization can still be done for big-endian platforms, but
only if the starting bit number and number of bits are multiples
of BITS_PER_LONG. This adjusts the code to use 8 for little-endian
and BITS_PER_LONG for big-endian platforms.

This was found by inspection.
I'm pretty sure commit 2c6deb01525a is wrong as well on big-endian
machines.
