[PATCH v6 02/20] drivers/net/b44: Align pwol_mask to unsigned long for better performance

[Fenghua Yu]

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

A bit in pwol_mask is set in b44_magic_pattern by atomic set_bit.
But since pwol_mask is local and never exposed to concurrency, there is
no need to set bit in pwol_mask atomically.

set_bit sets the bit in a single unsigned long location. Because pwol_mask
may not be aligned to unsigned long, the location may cross two cache
lines. On x86, accessing two cache lines in locked instruction in set_bit
is called split lock and can cause overall performance degradation.

So use non atomic __set_bit to set pwol_mask bits. __set_bit won't hit
split lock issue on x86.
