Matthew Wilcox e4afd2e556 lib/find_bit.c: micro-optimise find_next_*_bit
This saves 32 bytes on my x86-64 build, mostly due to alignment
considerations and sharing more code between find_next_bit and
find_next_zero_bit, but it does save a couple of instructions.

There's really two parts to this commit:
 - First, the first half of the test: (!nbits || start >= nbits) is
   trivially a subset of the second half, since nbits and start are both
   unsigned
 - Second, while looking at the disassembly, I noticed that GCC was
   predicting the branch taken. Since this is a failure case, it's
   clearly the less likely of the two branches, so add an unlikely() to
   override GCC's heuristics.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
