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).

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.
