[PATCH v2] bitfield.h: add FIELD_MAX() and field_max()

[Alex Elder <elder@linaro.org>]

Define FIELD_MAX(), which supplies the maximum value that can be
represented by a bitfield.  Define field_max() as well, to go
along with the lower-case forms of the field mask functions.

v2: Added Acked-by from Jakub.

David, I added you to this because it's probably easiest to take
this change in through your tree with the rest of the IPA code
(which uses field_max(), defined here).
