Define const_*() variants of the non-atomic bitops to be used when the input arguments are compile-time constants, so that the compiler will be always able to resolve those to compile-time constants as well. Those are mostly direct aliases for generic_*() with one exception for const_test_bit(): the original one is declared atomic-safe and thus doesn't discard the `volatile` qualifier, so in order to let optimize code, define it separately disregarding the qualifier. Add them to the compile-time type checks as well just in case.

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.
