lib/bitmap: drop optimization of bitmap_{from,to}_arr64
bitmap_{from,to}_arr64() optimization is overly optimistic on 32-bit LE architectures when it's wired to bitmap_copy_clear_tail(). bitmap_copy_clear_tail() takes care of unused bits in the bitmap up to the next word boundary. But on 32-bit machines when copying bits from bitmap to array of 64-bit words, it's expected that the unused part of a recipient array must be cleared up to 64-bit boundary, so the last 4 bytes may stay untouched when nbits % 64 <= 32. While the copying part of the optimization works correct, that clear-tail trick makes corresponding tests reasonably fail: test_bitmap: bitmap_to_arr64(nbits == 1): tail is not safely cleared: 0xa5a5a5a500000001 (must be 0x0000000000000001) Fix it by removing bitmap_{from,to}_arr64() optimization for 32-bit LE arches.
