Subject: lib/find_bit_benchmark.c: avoid soft lockup in test_find_first_bit()

From: Yury Norov <ynorov@caviumnetworks.com>

[ Upstream commit 4ba281d5bd9907355e6b79fb72049c9ed50cc670 ]

test_find_first_bit() is intentionally sub-optimal, and may cause soft
lockup due to long time of run on some systems.  So decrease length of
bitmap to traverse to avoid lockup.

With the change below, time of test execution doesn't exceed 0.2 seconds
on my testing system.
