Subject: include/uapi/linux/swab.h: fix userspace breakage, use __BITS_PER_LONG for swap
QEMU has a funny new build error message when I use the upstream kernel
headers:

This was triggered by commit d5767057c9a ("uapi: rename ext2_swab() to swab() and share globally in swab.h")
This patch is doing
+#include <asm/bitsperlong.h>
but it uses BITS_PER_LONG.
The kernel file asm/bitsperlong.h provide only __BITS_PER_LONG.
Let us use the __ variant in swap.h
