Building linux with W=1 on arm give me this warning;

../include/linux/bitmap.h: In function 'bitmap_empty':
../include/linux/bitmap.h:287:36: warning: comparison between signed and unsigned integer expressions [-Wsign-compare]
  return find_first_bit(src, nbits) == nbits;

../include/linux/bitmap.h: In function 'bitmap_full':
../include/linux/bitmap.h:295:41: warning: comparison between signed and unsigned integer expressions [-Wsign-compare]
  return find_first_zero_bit(src, nbits) == nbits;

The problem is that find_first{_zero}_bit() return type is unsigned long on
majority of arch.

Since find_first{_zero}_bit cannot return negative value, unsigned long is
the best return type.

After some read, it seems that find_next_bit_[lb]e/_find_next_zero_bit_[lb]e
are also incorectly set as return int.

This patch fix the return type of all thoses functions.
