From: Martin Kepplinger <martink@xxxxxxxxx>
Subject: bitops.h: add sign_extend64()
Months back, this was discussed, see https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/1/18/289
The result was the 64-bit version being "likely fine", "valuable" and
"correct". The discussion fell asleep but since there are possible users,
let's add it.
