There are three differences between __sbitmap_get and __sbitmap_get_shallow when searching free bit: 1. __sbitmap_get_shallow limit number of bit to search per word. __sbitmap_get has no such limit. 2. __sbitmap_get_shallow always searches with wrap set. __sbitmap_get set wrap according to round_robin. 3. __sbitmap_get_shallow always searches from first bit in first word. __sbitmap_get searches from first bit when round_robin is not set otherwise searches from SB_NR_TO_BIT(sb, alloc_hint). Add helper function sbitmap_find_bit function to do common search while accept "limit depth per word", "wrap flag" and "first bit to search" from caller to support the need of both __sbitmap_get and __sbitmap_get_shallow.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
