lib/bitmap: Introduce bitmap_scatter() and bitmap_gather() helpers
These helpers scatters or gathers a bitmap with the help of the mask position bits parameter. bitmap_scatter() does the following: src: 0000000001011010 |||||| +------+||||| | +----+|||| | |+----+||| | || +-+|| | || | || mask: ...v..vv...v..vv ...0..11...0..10 dst: 0000001100000010 and bitmap_gather() performs this one: mask: ...v..vv...v..vv src: 0000001100000010 ^ ^^ ^ 0 | || | 10 | || > 010 | |+--> 1010 | +--> 11010 +----> 011010 dst: 0000000000011010 bitmap_gather() can the seen as the reverse bitmap_scatter() operation.
