Subject: [PATCH net v3] ice: use proper macro for testing bit

Do not use _test_bit() macro for testing bit. The proper macro for this
is one without underline.

_test_bit() is what test_bit() was prior to const-optimization. It
directly calls arch_test_bit(), i.e. the arch-specific implementation
(or the generic one). It's strictly _internal_ and shouldn't be used
anywhere outside the actual test_bit() macro.

test_bit() is a wrapper which checks whether the bitmap and the bit
number are compile-time constants and if so, it calls the optimized
function which evaluates this call to a compile-time constant as well.
If either of them is not a compile-time constant, it just calls _test_bit().
test_bit() is the actual function to use anywhere in the kernel.

IOW, calling _test_bit() avoids potential compile-time optimizations.

The sensors is not a compile-time constant, thus most probably there
are no object code changes before and after the patch.
But anyway, we shouldn't call internal wrappers instead of
the actual API.
