Several parts of the kernel contain redundant implementations of parity
calculations for 16/32/64-bit values. Introduces generic
parity16/32/64() helpers in bitops.h, providing a standardized
and optimized implementation.
Subsequent patches refactor various kernel components to replace
open-coded parity calculations with the new helpers, reducing code
duplication and improving maintainability.

This patch series is based on next-20250228.
Changes in v2:
- Provide fallback functions for __builtin_parity() when the compiler
decides not to inline it
- Use __builtin_parity() when no architecture-specific implementation
is available
- Optimize for constant folding when val is a compile-time constant
- Add a generic parity() macro
- Drop the x86 bootflag conversion patch since it has been merged into
the tip tree
