bitops: Fix signedness of compile-time hweight implementations
Enabling '-Wsign-compare' compiler warnings on code that includes include/linux/bitops.h can generate the following warning: In file included from include/linux/kernel.h:10:0, from <random filename>:48: include/linux/bitops.h: In function 'hweight_long': include/linux/bitops.h:77:26: error: signed and unsigned type in conditional expression [-Werror=sign-compare] (converted to an error with -Werror) This is due to the use of the logical negation operator '!' in the __const_hweight8 macro in include/asm-generic/bitops/const_hweight.h. The use of that operator here results in a signed value. Fix by explicitly casting the __const_hweight8 macro expansion to 'unsigned int'. While here, clean up several checkpatch.pl warnings.
