Drop support to compile the kernel with gcc versions older than 3.3.3.
This allows us to use the "Q" inline assembly contraint on some more
inline assemblies without duplicating a lot of complex code (e.g. __xchg
and __cmpxchg). The distinction for older gcc versions can be removed
which saves a few lines and simplifies the code.

likely/unlikely profiling revealed that none of the branches in bitops
is taken likely or unlikely. So remove the annotations.
In addition the generated code is shorter.

ext4 does not work on s390 because ext2_find_next_bit is broken. Fortunately
this function is only used by ext4. The function uses ffs which does not work
analog to ffz. The result of ffs has an offset of 1 which is not taken into
account. To fix this use the low level __ffs_word function directly instead
of the ill defined ffs.
In addition the patch improves find_next_zero_bit and ext2_find_next_zero_bit
by passing the bit offset into __ffz_word instead of adding it after the
function call returned.
