Change the return types of bitops functions (ffs, fls, and fns) from long to int. The expected return values are in the range [0, 64], for which int is sufficient. Additionally, int aligns well with the return types of the corresponding __builtin_* functions, potentially reducing overall type conversions. Many of the existing bitops functions already return an int and don't need to be changed. The bitops functions in arch/ should be considered separately. Adjust some return variables to match the function return types. With GCC 13 and defconfig, these changes reduced the size of a test kernel image by 5,432 bytes on arm64 and by 248 bytes on riscv; there were no changes in size on x86_64, powerpc, or m68k.
