In 5.12 cycle we enabled GENERIC_FIND_FIRST_BIT config option for ARM64
and MIPS. It increased performance and shrunk .text size; and so far
I didn't receive any negative feedback on the change.

Now I think it's a good time to switch all architectures to use
find_{first,last}_bit() unconditionally, and so remove corresponding
config option.
The patch does't introduce functioal changes for arc, arm, arm64, mips,
m68k, s390 and x86, for other architectures I expect improvement both in
performance and .text size.
