lib/find_bit.c declares five single-line wrappers for _find_next_bit().
We may turn those wrappers to inline functions. It eliminates unneeded
function calls and opens room for compile-time optimizations.

In a separated patch, please. I don't think we need to defer this series in
case if tools lagged (which is usual case in my practice).

Splitting it to kernel and tools parts means either a patch bomb for tools or
doubling the size of the series. Both options look worse than what we have now.

Can you explain more on the lagged tools argument?
