[PATCH v2 1/3] DONOTMERGE: rust: prelude: add bit function

[Christina Quast]

In order to create masks easily, the define BIT() is used in C code.
This commit adds the same functionality to the rust kernel.

Do not merge this commit, because rust/kernel/types.rs in Rust-for-Linux
already contains this functionality and will be merged into next-net
soon.
But this driver does not compile without this commit, so I am adding it
to the patchset to get more feedback on the actual driver.
