MIPS: Fix logic errors in bitops.c
commit 92d11594f6 (MIPS: Remove irqflags.h dependency from bitops.h)
factored some of the bitops code out into a separate file
(arch/mips/lib/bitops.c). Unfortunately the logic converting a bit
mask into a boolean result was lost in some of the functions. We had:
int res;
unsigned long shifted_result_bit;
.
.
.
res = shifted_result_bit;
return res;
Which truncates off the high 32 bits (thus yielding an incorrect
value) on 64-bit systems.
The manifestation of this is that a non-SMP 64-bit kernel will not
boot as the bitmap operations in bootmem.c are all screwed up.
