Convert {clear,set}_bit() to atomics as KVM's ucall implementation relies
on clear_bit() being atomic, they are defined in atomic.h, and the same
helpers in the kernel proper are atomic.
KVM's ucall infrastructure is the only user of clear_bit() in tools/, and
there are no true set_bit() users. tools/testing/nvdimm/ does make heavy
use of set_bit(), but that code builds into a kernel module of sorts, i.e.
pulls in all of the kernel's header and so is already getting the kernel's
atomic set_bit().

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.
