ARM64 doesn't implement find_first_{zero}_bit in arch code and doesn't
enable it in a config. It leads to using find_next_bit() which is less
efficient:

Enabling find_{first,next}_bit() would also benefit for_each_{set,clear}_bit().
On A-53 find_first_bit() is almost twice faster than find_next_bit(), according
to lib/find_bit_benchmark (thanks to Alexey for testing):
GENERIC_FIND_FIRST_BIT=n:
[7126084.948181] find_first_bit: 47389224 ns, 16357 iterations
[7126085.032315] find_first_bit: 19048193 ns, 655 iterations
GENERIC_FIND_FIRST_BIT=y:
[ 84.158068] find_first_bit: 27193319 ns, 16406 iterations
[ 84.233005] find_first_bit: 11082437 ns, 656 iterations
GENERIC_FIND_FIRST_BIT=n bloats the kernel despite that it disables generation
of find_{first,next}_bit():
yury:linux$ scripts/bloat-o-meter vmlinux vmlinux.ffb
add/remove: 4/1 grow/shrink: 19/251 up/down: 564/-1692 (-1128)
...
Overall, GENERIC_FIND_FIRST_BIT=n is harmful both in terms of performance and
code size, and it's better to have GENERIC_FIND_FIRST_BIT enabled.
