Subject: [PATCH] net: remove tests on 64bit platforms

On 64bit platforms, >31 bit shifting of a unsigned long variable is
valid, so we can remove the related boundary tests, which may slow
down the CPU if branch prediction fails.

The size of text becomes smaller:
before:
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename

after:
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  15656	     16	     16	  15688	   3d48	net/ipv4/fib_trie.o
