[PATCH v3 00/16] Introduce and use generic parity16/32/64 helper

[Kuan-Wei Chiu <visitorckw@gmail.com>]

Several parts of the kernel contain redundant implementations of parity
calculations for 16/32/64-bit values. Introduces generic
parity16/32/64() helpers in bitops.h, providing a standardized
and optimized implementation. 

Subsequent patches refactor various kernel components to replace
open-coded parity calculations with the new helpers, reducing code
duplication and improving maintainability.

In v3, I use parityXX() instead of the parity() macro since the
parity() macro may generate suboptimal code and requires special hacks
to make GCC happy. If anyone still prefers a single parity() macro,
please let me know.

Additionally, I changed parityXX() << y users to !!parityXX() << y
because, unlike C++, C does not guarantee that true casts to int as 1.

Changes in v3:
- Avoid using __builtin_parity.
- Change return type to bool.
- Drop parity() macro.
- Change parityXX() << y to !!parityXX() << y.


Changes in v2:
- Provide fallback functions for __builtin_parity() when the compiler
  decides not to inline it
- Use __builtin_parity() when no architecture-specific implementation
  is available
- Optimize for constant folding when val is a compile-time constant
- Add a generic parity() macro
- Drop the x86 bootflag conversion patch since it has been merged into
  the tip tree
