[PATCH v3 9/9] ext4: use memweight()

[Akinobu Mita]

Convert ext4_count_free() to use memweight() instead of table lookup
based counting clear bits implementation.  This change only affects
the code segments enabled by EXT4FS_DEBUG.

Note that this memweight() call can't be replaced with a single
bitmap_weight() call, although the pointer to the memory area is
aligned to long-word boundary.  Because the size of the memory area
may not be a multiple of BITS_PER_LONG, then it returns wrong value on
big-endian architecture.

This also includes the following change.

- Remove unnecessary map == NULL check in ext4_count_free() which
  always takes non-null pointer as the memory area.

v3: rewrite to keep ext4_count_free() as a wrapper for memweight()
v2: don't remove bitmap.c which now has other than ext4_count_free()
