Add explicit check to see if the value being written into the bitmap
does not fall outside the bitmap.
The situation that it is falling outside would never be possible in the
code because the boundaries are required to be correct before the
function is called. The responsibility is on the caller for ensuring the
boundaries are correct.
The code change is simply to silence the GCC warning messages
because GCC is not aware that the boundaries have already been checked.
As such, we're better off using __builtin_unreachable() here because we
can avoid the latency of the conditional check entirely.

lib/test_bitmap.c: Modify for_each_set_clump test

Modify the test where bitmap_set_value() is called. bitmap_set_value()
now takes an extra bitmap-width as second argument and the width of
value is now present as the fourth argument.

Commit message here definitely needs more work.
First of all, it's now quite awkward to see this squashed stuff like this.
Second, it misses the warning examples it's talking about.
Third, it repeats some tags.
Fourth, it misses the Fixes tag.

Please, redone it correctly (one commit message with clear purpose and
example of warnings followed by Fixes tag) and resend a v3.

You may mention in the cover letter that this is squashed of three
patches from v1 (and give a link to lore.kernel.org).
