[PATCH v1 4/4] bitmap: Make bitmap_fill() and bitmap_zero() consistent

[Andy Shevchenko <andriy.shevchenko@linux.intel.com>]

Behaviour of bitmap_fill() differs from bitmap_zero() in a way
how bits behind bitmap are handed. bitmap_zero() clears entire bitmap
by unsigned long boundary, while bitmap_fill() mimics bitmap_set().

Here we change bitmap_fill() behaviour to be consistent with bitmap_zero()
and add a note to documentation.

The change might reveal some bugs in the code where unused bits handled
differently and in such cases bitmap_set() has to be used.
