bitmap: Introduce bitmap_cut(): cut bits and shift remaining

The new bitmap function bitmap_cut() copies bits from source to
destination by removing the region specified by parameters first
and cut, and remapping the bits above the cut region by right
shifting them.

+/**
+ * bitmap_cut() - remove bit region from bitmap and right shift remaining bits
+ * @dst: destination bitmap, might overlap with src
+ * @src: source bitmap
+ * @first: start bit of region to be removed
+ * @cut: number of bits to remove
+ * @nbits: bitmap size, in bits
+ *
+ * Set the n-th bit of @dst iff the n-th bit of @src is set and
+ * n is less than @first, or the m-th bit of @src is set for any
+ * m such that @first <= n < nbits, and m = n + @cut.
+ *
+ * In pictures, example for a big-endian 32-bit architecture:
+ *
+ * @src:
+ * 31                                   63
+ * |                                    |
+ * 10000000 11000001 11110010 00010101  10000000 11000001 01110010 00010101
+ *                 |  |              |                                    |
+ *                16  14             0                                   32
+ *
+ * if @cut is 3, and @first is 14, bits 14-16 in @src are cut and @dst is:
+ *
+ * 31                                   63
+ * |                                    |
+ * 10110000 00011000 00110010 00010101  00010000 00011000 00101110 01000010
+ *                    |              |                                    |
+ *                    14 (bit 17     0                                   32
+ *                        from @src)
+ *
+ * Note that @dst and @src might overlap partially or entirely.
+ *
+ * This is implemented in the obvious way, with a shift and carry
+ * step for each moved bit. Optimisation is left as an exercise
+ * for the compiler.
