When "nbits = 0", which means no bits to mask, this macro is expected to
return 0, instead of 0xffffffff. This patch changes the macro to return
0 when there is no bit needs to be masked.

Is there any existing path that can trigger this nbits==0?
Not sure about other bitmap APIs which call this macro. But it happens in
the patches we are working on, which use bitmap_count_one.
It would be good to have the macro itself handle this corner case, so that
callers won't need to worry about that.
Yeah that makes sense.  Asked since that would matter on whether it's
3.0 material, then it's possibly not.


OK, thanks for checking.

Best,
Wei
