[PATCH] word-at-a-time: use the same return type for has_zero regardless of endianness

[ndesaulniers@google.com]

Compiling big-endian targets with Clang produces the diagnostic:

fs/namei.c:2173:13: warning: use of bitwise '|' with boolean operands
[-Wbitwise-instead-of-logical]
} while (!(has_zero(a, &adata, &constants) | has_zero(b, &bdata, &constants)));
          ~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
                                           ||
fs/namei.c:2173:13: note: cast one or both operands to int to silence
this warning

It appears that when has_zero was introduced, two definitions were
produced with different signatures (in particular different return types).

Looking at the usage in hash_name() in fs/namei.c, I suspect that
has_zero() is meant to be invoked twice per while loop iteration; using
logical-or would not update `bdata` when `a` did not have zeros. So I
think it's preferred to always return an unsigned long rather than a
bool then update the while loop in hash_name() to use a logical-or
rather than bitwise-or.
