Subject: [PATCH 5/7] lib: bitmap: Change bitmap_shift_left to take unsigned parameters

gcc can generate slightly better code for stuff like "nbits %
BITS_PER_LONG" when it knows nbits is not negative. Since negative
size bitmaps or shift amounts don't make sense, change these
parameters of bitmap_shift_right to unsigned.

If off >= lim (which requires shift >= nbits), k is initialized with a
large positive value, but since I've let k continue to be signed, the
loop will never run and dst will be zeroed as expected. Inside the
loop, k is guaranteed to be non-negative, so the fact that it is
promoted to unsigned in the various expressions it appears in is
harmless.

Also use "shift" and "nbits" consistently for the parameter names.
