bitops: let optimize out non-atomic bitops on compile-time constants

Currently, many architecture-specific non-atomic bitop
implementations use inline asm or other hacks which are faster or
more robust when working with "real" variables (i.e. fields from
the structures etc.), but the compilers have no clue how to optimize
them out when called on compile-time constants. That said, the
following code:

DECLARE_BITMAP(foo, BITS_PER_LONG) = { }; // -> unsigned long foo[1];
unsigned long bar = BIT(BAR_BIT);
unsigned long baz = 0;

__set_bit(FOO_BIT, foo);
baz |= BIT(BAZ_BIT);

BUILD_BUG_ON(!__builtin_constant_p(test_bit(FOO_BIT, foo));
BUILD_BUG_ON(!__builtin_constant_p(bar & BAR_BIT));
BUILD_BUG_ON(!__builtin_constant_p(baz & BAZ_BIT));

triggers the first assertion on x86_64, which means that the
compiler is unable to evaluate it to a compile-time initializer
when the architecture-specific bitop is used even if it's obvious.
In order to let the compiler optimize out such cases, expand the
bitop() macro to use the "constant" C non-atomic bitop
implementations when all of the arguments passed are compile-time
constants, which means that the result will be a compile-time
constant as well, so that it produces more efficient and simple
code in 100% cases, comparing to the architecture-specific
counterparts.

The savings are architecture, compiler and compiler flags dependent,
for example, on x86_64 -O2:

GCC 12: add/remove: 78/29 grow/shrink: 332/525 up/down: 31325/-61560 (-30235)
LLVM 13: add/remove: 79/76 grow/shrink: 184/537 up/down: 55076/-141892 (-86816)
LLVM 14: add/remove: 10/3 grow/shrink: 93/138 up/down: 3705/-6992 (-3287)

and ARM64 (courtesy of Mark):

GCC 11: add/remove: 92/29 grow/shrink: 933/2766 up/down: 39340/-82580 (-43240)
LLVM 14: add/remove: 21/11 grow/shrink: 620/651 up/down: 12060/-15824 (-3764)
