bitmap: fix memset optimization on big-endian systems
Commit 2a98dc028f91 ("include/linux/bitmap.h: turn bitmap_set and bitmap_clear into memset when possible") introduced an optimization to bitmap_{set,clear}() which uses memset() when the start and length are constants aligned to a byte. This is wrong on big-endian systems; our bitmaps are arrays of unsigned long, so bit n is not at byte n / 8 in memory. This was caught by the Btrfs selftests, but the bitmap selftests also fail when run on a big-endian machine. We can still use memset if the start and length are aligned to an unsigned long, so do that on big-endian. The same problem applies to the memcmp in bitmap_equal(), so fix it there, too.
