cpumask: make "nr_cpumask_bits" unsigned
Bit searching functions accept "unsigned long" indices but "nr_cpumask_bits" is "int" which is signed, so inevitable sign extensions occur on x86_64. Those MOVSX are #1 MOVSX bloat by number of uses across whole kernel. Change "nr_cpumask_bits" to unsigned, this number can't be negative after all. It allows to do implicit zero-extension on x86_64 without MOVSX. Change signed comparisons into unsigned comparisons where necessary. Other uses looks fine because it is either argument passed to a function or comparison is already unsigned.
