751ad98d5f asm-generic, x86: add bitops instrumentation for KASAN
This adds a new header to asm-generic to allow optionally instrumenting
architecture-specific asm implementations of bitops.

This change includes the required change for x86 as reference and
changes the kernel API doc to point to bitops-instrumented.h instead.
Rationale: the functions in x86's bitops.h are no longer the kernel API
functions, but instead the arch_ prefixed functions, which are then
instrumented via bitops-instrumented.h.

Other architectures can similarly add support for asm implementations of
bitops.

The documentation text was derived from x86 and existing bitops
asm-generic versions: 1) references to x86 have been removed; 2) as a
result, some of the text had to be reworded for clarity and consistency.

Tested using lib/test_kasan with bitops tests (pre-requisite patch).

2c64e9cb0b lib: Move mathematic helpers to separate folder
For better maintenance and expansion move the mathematic helpers to the
separate folder.

No functional change intended.

Note, the int_sqrt() is not used as a part of lib, so, moved to regular
obj.

caaf3c83d2 Docs/kernel-api.rst: Remove blk-tag.c reference
After 7ca0192646, legacy rq tagging was removed, so block/blk-tag.c
does not exists anymore. When generating pdfdocs, sphinx complains about
this missing file:

Error: Cannot open file ./block/blk-tag.c
Error: Cannot open file ./block/blk-tag.c
Error: Cannot open file ./block/blk-tag.c
Error: Cannot open file ./block/blk-tag.c

So remove blk-tag.c traces from kernel-api.rst file to silence these
warnings.

* The "User Space Memory Access" is moved to the beginning
* The get_user_pages_fast reference is now a part of "User Space Memory

* And, of course, headings are adjusted with section being promoted to
  chapters

- move Bit Operations from Basic C Library Functions to Basic
  Kernel Library Functions (now adjacent to Bitmap Operations since
  they are not typical C library functions)

- move Sorting from Math Functions to Basic Kernel Library Functions
  since sort functions are more Basic than Math Functions

- move Text Searching from Math Functions to Basic Kernel Library
  Functions (keep Sorting and Searching close to each other)

- combine CRC and Math functions together into the (newly named)
  CRC and Math Functions chapter
