Subject: string: introduce memweight()

memweight() is the function that counts the total number of bits set in
memory area.  Unlike bitmap_weight(), memweight() takes pointer and size
in bytes to specify a memory area which does not need to be aligned to
long-word boundary.

[akpm@linux-foundation.org: rename `w' to `ret']
