  To: Yury Norov, Rasmus Villemoes, linux-kernel; +Cc: Yury Norov

find_nth_and_bit() and find_nth_and_andnot_bit() may return a value
greater than @size when the requested bit does not exist, matching
find_nth_bit(). Document that correctly. All current users are safe
against the '>=' vs '==' conditions. 

Also fix the for_each_clear_bitrange_from() parameter descriptions so
they describe clear ranges instead of set ranges.
