Subject: [PATCH v3 5/5] linux/const.h: move BIT(_ULL) to linux/const.h for use in assembly

Commit 2fc016c5bd8a ("linux/const.h: Add _BITUL() and _BITULL()")
introduced _BITUL() and _BITULL().  Its git-log says the difference
from the already existing BIT() are:

  1. The namespace is such that they can be used in uapi definitions.
  2. The type is set with the _AC() macro to allow it to be used in
     assembly.
  3. The type is explicitly specified to be UL or ULL.

However, I found _BITUL() is mostly used in kernel-space since it is
handy to share headers between C and assembly.  If we only need '2.',
we can improve the existing BIT() for use in assembly, allowing us to
avoid unnecessary underscore prefixes.
