Subject: [PATCH 4.14 015/159] bitops: Add clear/set_bit32() to linux/bitops.h

4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Andi Kleen <ak@...ux.intel.com>

commit cbe96375025e14fc76f9ed42ee5225120d7210f8 upstream.

Add two simple wrappers around set_bit/clear_bit() that accept
the common case of an u32 array. This avoids writing
casts in all callers.
