The two new functions allow reading/writing values of length up to
BITS_PER_LONG bits at arbitrary position in the bitmap.

The code was taken from "bitops: Introduce the for_each_set_clump macro"
by Syed Nayyar Waris with a number of changes and simplifications:
 - instead of using roundup(), which adds an unnecessary dependency
   on <linux/math.h>, we calculate space as BITS_PER_LONG-offset;
 - indentation is reduced by not using else-clauses (suggested by
   checkpatch for bitmap_get_value());
 - bitmap_get_value()/bitmap_set_value() are renamed to bitmap_read()
   and bitmap_write();
 - some redundant computations are omitted.

These functions feel like they should not be inline but are
better off in lib/bitmap.c given their length.

As far as I can tell, the header ends up being included
indirectly almost everywhere, so just parsing these functions
likey adds not just dependencies but also compile time.
