Subject: bitmap: fix memset optimization on big-endian systems

From: Omar Sandoval <osandov@fb.com>

commit 21035965f60b0502fc6537b232839389bb4ce664 upstream.

Commit 2a98dc028f91 ("include/linux/bitmap.h: turn bitmap_set and
bitmap_clear into memset when possible") introduced an optimization to
bitmap_{set,clear}() which uses memset() when the start and length are
constants aligned to a byte.

This is wrong on big-endian systems; our bitmaps are arrays of unsigned
long, so bit n is not at byte n / 8 in memory.  This was caught by the
Btrfs selftests, but the bitmap selftests also fail when run on a
big-endian machine.

We can still use memset if the start and length are aligned to an
unsigned long, so do that on big-endian.  The same problem applies to
the memcmp in bitmap_equal(), so fix it there, too.

Fixes: 2a98dc028f91 ("include/linux/bitmap.h: turn bitmap_set and bitmap_clear into memset when possible")
Fixes: 2c6deb01525a ("bitmap: use memcmp optimisation in more situations")
