Subject: [PATCH v3 0/5] lib: rework bitmap_parselist and tests

bitmap_parselist has been evolved from a pretty simple idea for long and
now lacks for refactoring. It is not structured, has nested loops and a
set of opaque-named variables.

Things are more complicated because bitmap_parselist() is a part of user
interface, and its behavior should not change.

In this patchset
 - bitmap_parselist_user() made a wrapper on bitmap_parselist();
 - bitmap_parselist() reworked (patch 2);
 - time measurement in test_bitmap_parselist switched to ktime_get
   (patch 3);
 - new tests introduced (patch 4), and
 - bitmap_parselist_user() testing enabled with the same testset as
   bitmap_parselist() (patch 5).

v1: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/12/23/50
v2: https://www.spinics.net/lists/kernel/msg3048976.html
v3: Implementation of an approach with copying the data to
    kernel space in bitmap_parselist_user() instead of parsing
    user data byte by byte. For me, it looks better than v2.

Yury Norov (5):
  lib: make bitmap_parselist_user() a wrapper on bitmap_parselist()
  lib: rework bitmap_parselist
  lib/test_bitmap: switch test_bitmap_parselist to ktime_get()
  lib/test_bitmap: add testcases for bitmap_parselist
  lib/test_bitmap: add tests for bitmap_parselist_user
