[PATCH v2] x86, bitops, variable_test_bit should return 1 not -1 on a match

[Prarit Bhargava <prarit@redhat.com>]

This issue was noticed while debugging a CPU hotplug issue.  On x86
with (NR_CPUS > 1) the cpu_online() define is cpumask_test_cpu().
cpumask_test_cpu() should return 1 if the cpu is set in cpumask and
0 otherwise.

However, cpumask_test_cpu() returns -1 if the cpu in the cpumask is
set and 0 otherwise.  This happens because cpumask_test_cpu() calls
test_bit() which is a define that will call variable_test_bit().

variable_test_bit() calls the assembler instruction sbb (Subtract
with Borrow, " Subtracts the source from the destination, and subtracts 1
extra if the Carry Flag is set. Results are returned in "dest".)

A bit match results in -1 being returned from variable_test_bit() if a
match occurs, not 1 as the function is supposed to.

It looks like the code never does, for example, (test_bit() == 1) so this
change should not have any impact.

[v2]: hpa: Use setc, (Set if Carry, "Sets the byte in the operand to 1 if
the Carry Flag is set, otherwise sets the operand to 0.") instead of !!
