Move generic non-atomic bitops from the asm-generic header which
gets included only when there are no architecture-specific
alternatives, to a separate independent file to make them always
available.
Almost no actual code changes, only one comment added to
generic_test_bit() saying that it's an atomic operation itself
and thus `volatile` must always stay there with no cast-aways.

Hi,

this patch gives me a headache when trying to run sparse against a module.

Olek please help :D

It was fixed shortly after the build bots turned on on the original
series with [0]. Hovewer, no release tag's been made after the fix.
There's also a short discussion regarding packaging Sparse 0.6.4 for
Debian with that fix cherry-picked[1], not sure if it led anywhere.


$ sudo make C=2 -C . M=drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/
make: Entering directory '/home/mfijalko/bpf-next'
  CHECK   drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_main.c
drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_main.c: note: in included file (through include/linux/bitops.h, include/linux/kernel.h, drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice.h):

drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_main.c: note: in included file (through arch/x86/include/asm/bitops.h, include/linux/bitops.h, include/linux/kernel.h, drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice.h):

./include/asm-generic/bitops/instrumented-non-atomic.h:139:1: warning: unreplaced symbol 'return'

that's for a single file, there's no point in including same output for
every other file being checked.

Thanks,
Maciej
