bitmap: add atomic set functions

Use atomic_or() for atomic bitmaps where several threads may set bits at
the same time.  This avoids the race condition between threads loading
an element, bitwise ORing, and then storing the element.

When setting all bits in a word we can avoid atomic ops and instead just
use an smp_mb() at the end.

Most bitmap users don't need atomicity so introduce new functions.
