Abhi noticed that we were getting a complaint from the RCU subsystem
about access of an RCU protected list under the write side bit lock.
This commit adds additional annotation to check both the RCU read
lock and the write side bit lock before printing a message.

Po-Yu Chuang <ratbert.chuang@gmail.com> noticed that hlist_bl_set_first could
crash on a UP system when LIST_BL_LOCKMASK is 0, because
LIST_BL_BUG_ON(!((unsigned long)h->first & LIST_BL_LOCKMASK));
always evaulates to true.
Fix the expression, and also avoid a dependency between bit spinlock
implementation and list bl code (list code shouldn't know anything
except that bit 0 is set when adding and removing elements). Eventually
if a good use case comes up, we might use this list to store 1 or more
arbitrary bits of data, so it really shouldn't be tied to locking either,
but for now they are helpful for debugging.

Introduce a type of hlist that can support the use of the lowest bit in the
hlist_head. This will be subsequently used to implement per-bucket bit spinlock
for inode and dentry hashes, and may be useful in other cases such as network
hashes.
