This patch fixes the wrong if condition for the check if the
requested timer is available.

The bitmap avail is used to store if a timer is used already.
test_bit() is used to check if the requested timer is
available. If a bit in the avail bitmap is set it means that the
timer is available.

What were the runtime effects of this bug?

(Please always include this information in the changelog when fixing things)

Thanks.

You're right, it's reversed.

The runtime effect would be that allocating a specific timer always
fails (versus telling cs5535_mfgpt_alloc_timer to allocate the first
available timer, which works).
