Subject: [PATCH] ext4: Fix mb_find_next_bit not to return larger than max

Some architectures implement ext4_find_next_bit and
ext4_find_next_zero_bit in such a way that they return
greater than max for some input values. Make sure
mb_find_next_bit and mb_find_next_zero_bit return the
right values.

On 2.6.25 we have include/asm-x86/bitops_32.h
static inline unsigned find_first_bit(const unsigned long *addr, unsigned size)
{
	unsigned x = 0;

	while (x < size) {
		unsigned long val = *addr++;
		if (val)
			return __ffs(val) + x;
		x += (sizeof(*addr)<<3);
	}
	return x;
}

This can return value greater than size.

Reported and fixed here for lustre
