wifi: mac80211: avoid u32_encode_bits() warning
[ Upstream commit 1d8d4af4347420d657be448f8be4c39c558f3b5d ]
gcc-9 triggers a false-postive warning in ieee80211_mlo_multicast_tx()
for u32_encode_bits(ffs(links) - 1, ...), since ffs() can return zero
on an empty bitmask, and the negative argument to u32_encode_bits()
is then out of range:

include/linux/bitfield.h:200:1: note: in expansion of macro '__MAKE_OP'
200 | __MAKE_OP(32)
| ^~~~~~~~~
Newer compiler versions do not cause problems with the zero argument
because they do not consider this a __builtin_constant_p().
It's also harmless since the hweight16() check already guarantees
that this cannot be 0.
Replace the ffs() with an equivalent find_first_bit() check that
matches the later for_each_set_bit() style and avoids the warning.
