tools: Take @bit as an "unsigned long" in {clear,set}_bit() helpers
Take @bit as an unsigned long instead of a signed int in clear_bit() and
set_bit() so that they match the double-underscore versions, __clear_bit()
and __set_bit(). This will allow converting users that really don't want
atomic operations to the double-underscores without introducing a
functional change, which will in turn allow making {clear,set}_bit()
atomic (as advertised).
Practically speaking, this _should_ have no functional impact. KVM's
selftests usage is either hardcoded (Hyper-V tests) or is artificially
limited (arch_timer test and dirty_log test). In KVM, dirty_log test is
the only mildly interesting case as it's use indirectly restricted to
unsigned 32-bit values, but in theory it could generate a negative value
when cast to a signed int. But in that case, taking an "unsigned long"
is actually a bug fix.
Perf's usage is more difficult to audit, but any code that is affected
by the switch is likely already broken. perf_header__{set,clear}_feat()
and perf_file_header__read() effectively use only hardcoded enums with
small, positive values, atom_new() passes an unsigned long, but its value
is capped at 128 via NR_ATOM_PER_PAGE, etc...
The only real potential for breakage is in the perf flows that take a
"cpu", but it's unlikely perf is subtly relying on a negative index into
bitmaps, e.g. "cpu" can be "-1", but only as "not valid" placeholder.
Note, tools/testing/nvdimm/ makes heavy use of set_bit(), but that code
builds into a kernel module of sorts, i.e. pulls in all of the kernel's
header and so is getting the kernel's atomic set_bit(). The NVDIMM test
usage of atomics is likely unnecessary, e.g. ndtest_dimm_register() sets
bits in a local variable, but that's neither here nor there as far as
this change is concerned.
