[PATCH] arm64: enable GENERIC_FIND_FIRST_BIT

ARM64 doesn't implement find_first_{zero}_bit in arch code and doesn't
enable it in config. It leads to using find_next_bit() which is less
efficient:

Enabling this functions would also benefit for_each_{set,clear}_bit().
Would it make sense to enable this config for all such architectures by
default?
