Subject: [GIT PULL] core/types change for v3.15

Linus,

   # HEAD: c32fa99f0b4252633aa464e28d1cb925bd2a79df bitops: Fix signedness of compile-time hweight implementations

This lone commit makes sure that __const_hweight8() is unsigned, which 
addresses a build warning if code is built with -Wsign-compare.

I hope the type cast in this cleanup is fine - another option would be 
to eliminate the double unary negation and use a construct with more 
obvious integer type characteristics, along the lines of:

	((w) & (1ULL << 1) ? 1U : 0U)

or so.

 Thanks,

	Ingo
