[nf-next PATCH v2 1/5] netfilter: bitwise: keep track of bit-length of expressions

[Jeremy Sowden <jeremy@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Some bitwise operations are generated in user space when munging paylod
expressions.  During delinearization, user space attempts to eliminate
these operations.  However, it does this before deducing the byte-order
or the correct length in bits of the operands, which means that it
doesn't always handle multi-byte host-endian operations correctly.
Therefore, add support for storing the bit-length of the expression,
even though the kernel doesn't use it, in order to be able to pass it
back to user space.
