The usage of find_first_zero_bit() in bfs_create() is wrong for
two reasons.

The bitmap size argument to find_first_zero_bit() is info->si_lasti
but the correct bitmap size is info->si_lasti + 1 as info->si_lasti
is the last valid index in info->si_imap bitmap.

Another problem is that it is impossible to detect that info->si_imap
bitmap is full because there is an off-by-one bug in the return value
check for find_first_zero_bit().  If no zero bits exist in info->si_imap,
find_first_zero_bit() returns info->si_lasti. But the check can't catch it
due to the off-by-one.
