Subject: [PATCH] include : compile warning by __const_hweight8

 compilation warning is caused by __const_hweight8 when using
hweight_long with -Wsign-compare option.
 you can see warning message like the following.

 include/linux/bitops.h: In function 'hweight_long':
 include/linux/bitops.h:49: warning: signed and unsigned type in
conditional expression

 The reason is that the default return value of this macro is signed.
So, need type casting to remove warning.
