include/linux/bitmap.h: make bitmap_fill() and bitmap_zero() consistent
Behaviour of bitmap_fill() differs from bitmap_zero() in a way how bits
behind bitmap are handed.  bitmap_zero() clears entire bitmap by unsigned
long boundary, while bitmap_fill() mimics bitmap_set().

Here we change bitmap_fill() behaviour to be consistent with bitmap_zero()
and add a note to documentation.

The change might reveal some bugs in the code where unused bits are
handled differently and in such cases bitmap_set() has to be used.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
