Subject: [v4.9 PATCH v2 1/6] include/uapi/linux/swab.h: fix userspace breakage, use __BITS_PER_LONG for swap

From: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@...ibm.com>

QEMU has a funny new build error message when I use the upstream kernel
headers:

      CC      block/file-posix.o
    In file included from /home/cborntra/REPOS/qemu/include/qemu/timer.h:4,

This was triggered by commit d5767057c9a ("uapi: rename ext2_swab() to
swab() and share globally in swab.h").  That patch is doing

  #include <asm/bitsperlong.h>

but it uses BITS_PER_LONG.

The kernel file asm/bitsperlong.h provide only __BITS_PER_LONG.

Let us use the __ variant in swap.h
