Subject: [PATCH 4.4 27/72] include/linux/bitops.h: introduce BITS_PER_TYPE

From: Chris Wilson <chris@...is-wilson.co.uk>

commit 9144d75e22cad3c89e6b2ccab551db9ee28d250a upstream.

net_dim.h has a rather useful extension to BITS_PER_BYTE to compute the
number of bits in a type (BITS_PER_BYTE * sizeof(T)), so promote the macro
to bitops.h, alongside BITS_PER_BYTE, for wider usage.
