forbid asm/bitops.h direct inclusion

Because of compile errors that may occur after bit changes if asm/bitops.h is
included directly without e.g.  linux/kernel.h which includes linux/bitops.h,
forbid direct inclusion of asm/bitops.h.  Thanks to Adrian Bunk.

There already exists a big endian safe bitops implementation in
lib/find_next_bit.c.  The code in it is 90%+ common with the powerpc
specific version, so the powerpc version is redundant.  This patch
makes the necessary changes to use the generic bitops in powerpc, and
removes the powerpc specific version.

<title>[PATCH] powerpc: use lwsync in atomics, bitops, lock functions</title>

<content type='text'>
eieio is only a store - store ordering. When used to order an unlock
operation loads may leak out of the critical region. This is potentially
buggy, one example is if a user wants to atomically read a couple of
values.

We can solve this with an lwsync which orders everything except store - load.

I removed the (now unused) EIEIO_ON_SMP macros and the c versions
isync_on_smp and eieio_on_smp now we dont use them. I also removed some
old comments that were used to identify inline spinlocks in assembly,
they dont make sense now our locks are out of line.

Another interesting thing was that read_unlock was using an eieio even
though the rest of the spinlock code had already been converted to
use lwsync.
