Subject: [PATCH v4 01/24] bitops: merge little and big endian definisions in asm-generic/bitops/le.h

This patch series introduces little-endian bit operations in asm/bitops.h
for all architectures and converts all ext2 non-atomic and minix bit
operations to use little-endian bit operations.  It enables us to remove
ext2 non-atomic and minix bit operations from asm/bitops.h.  The reason
they should be removed from asm/bitops.h is as follows:

For ext2 non-atomic bit operations, they are used for little-endian byte
order bitmap access by some filesystems and modules.  But using ext2_*()
functions on a module other than ext2 filesystem makes some feel strange.
The other problem is that they take a "void *" but implicitly need a long
aligned address.

For minix bit operations, they are only used by minix filesystem and are
useless by other modules.  Because byte order of inode and block bitmap is
different on each architecture.

This patch:

In order to make the forthcoming changes smaller, this merges macro
definisions in asm-generic/bitops/le.h for big-endian and little-endian as
much as possible.

This also removes unused BITOP_WORD macro.

Change from v3:
 - fix inefficienct find_first_zero_le_bit() for a few architectures
