[PATCH 1/2] bitops: Avoid integer overflow warning in GENMASK_ULL

GENMASK_ULL performs a left-shift of (~0ULL), which technically
results in an integer overflow. clang raises a warning about
this if the overflow occurs in a preprocessor expression. To
avoid the overflow first perform a right-shift to clear the
bits that are shifted out.
