MIPS: Fix logic errors in bitops.c
commit 92d11594f6 (MIPS: Remove irqflags.h dependency from bitops.h) factored some of the bitops code out into a separate file (arch/mips/lib/bitops.c). Unfortunately the logic converting a bit mask into a boolean result was lost in some of the functions. We had: int res; unsigned long shifted_result_bit; . . . res = shifted_result_bit; return res; Which truncates off the high 32 bits (thus yielding an incorrect value) on 64-bit systems. The manifestation of this is that a non-SMP 64-bit kernel will not boot as the bitmap operations in bootmem.c are all screwed up.
