Use 'bitmap_zalloc()' to simplify code, improve the semantic and avoid
some open-coded arithmetic in allocator arguments.
Also change the corresponding 'kfree()' into 'bitmap_free()' to keep
consistency.
Use 'bitmap_copy()' to avoid an explicit 'memcpy()'

No,
My understanding of the code is that if we lack space (end > nr_minors),
we need to allocate more. In such a case, we want to keep track of what
we have allocated, not what we needed.
The "padding" bits in the "long align" allocation, can be used later.
first call
----------
end = 65
nr_minors = 63
--> we need some space
--> we allocate 2 longs = 128 bits
--> we now use 65 bits of these 128 bits
new call
--------
end = 68
nr_minors = 128 (from previous call)
--> no need to reallocate
