Subject: [PATCH 4/8] lib: bitmap: move ERANGE check from set_region to check_region

It makes sense to do all the checks in check_region() and not 1/2
in check_region and 1/2 in set_region.

Since set_region is called immediately after check_region, the net
effect on runtime is zero, but it gets rid of an if (...) return...
