Subject: [PATCH v2] linux/bitops.h: Refactor function fns to reduce branch usage and eliminate external calls

Rewrote the function fns to use macro wrote in linux/include/asm-generic/bitops/const_hweight.h.
Decrease the number of required branches and eliminate the need for external calls.
The number of branches is now constant, unaffected by input variations.

This commit improves code efficiency and clarity.
