asm-generic/bitsperlong.h: Add sanity checks for __BITS_PER_LONG 



The value of __BITS_PER_LONG from architecture-specific logic should
always match the generic one if that is available. It should also match
the actual C type 'long'.

Mismatches can happen for example when building the compat vDSO. Either
during the compilation, see commit 9a6d3ff1 ("arm64: uapi: Provide
correct __BITS_PER_LONG for the compat vDSO"), or when running sparse
when mismatched CHECKFLAGS are inherited from the kernel build.

Add some consistency checks which detect such issues early and clearly.

The kernel-internal BITS_PER_LONG is not checked as it is derived from
CONFIG_64BIT and therefore breaks for the compat vDSO. See the similar,
deactivated check above.
