Subject: [PATCH v3] bitfield.h: add FIELD_MAX() and field_max()

Define FIELD_MAX(), which supplies the maximum value that can be
represented by a field value.  Define field_max() as well, to go
along with the lower-case forms of the field mask functions.

v3: Rebased on latest netdev-next/master.

David, please take this into net-next as soon as possible.  When the
IPA code was merged the other day this prerequisite patch was not
included, and as a result the IPA driver fails to build.  Thank you.
