Subject: [PATCH] posix_types.h: Cleanup stale __NFDBITS and related
 definitions

Recently, glibc made a change to suppress sign-conversion warnings in FD_SET
(glibc commit ceb9e56b3d1).  This uncovered an issue with the kernel's
definition of __NFDBITS if applications #include <linux/types.h> after
including <sys/select.h>.  A build failure would be seen when passing the
-Werror=sign-compare and -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 flags to gcc.

It was suggested that the kernel should either match the glibc definition of
__NFDBITS or remove that entirely.  The current in-kernel uses of __NFDBITS
can be replaced with BITS_PER_LONG, and there are no uses of the related
__FDELT and __FDMASK defines.  Given that, we'll continue the cleanup that
was started with commit 8b3d1cda4f5f ("posix_types: Remove fd_set macros")
and drop the remaining unused macros.

Additionally, linux/time.h has similar macros defined that expand to nothing
so we'll remove those at the same time.
