It would be safer to do kzalloc(sizeof(*bits) + 1, GFP_KERNEL) and change tests accordingly to: set_bit(BITS_PER_LONG + 1, bits) ...
kmalloc will internally round up allocation to 16-bytes, so we won't be actually corrupting someone elses memory.

I'd remove these two. There are plenty of within bounds set_bit() in the kernel so they are well tested already.
