bitmap.h, perf/core: Fix the mask in perf_output_sample_regs()

When decoding the perf_regs mask in perf_output_sample_regs(),
we loop through the mask using find_first_bit and find_next_bit functions.

While the exisiting code works fine in most of the case, the logic
is broken for big-endian 32-bit kernels.

When reading a u64 mask using (u32 *)(&val)[0], find_*_bit() assumes
that it gets the lower 32 bits of u64, but instead it gets the upper
32 bits - which is wrong.

The fix is to swap the words of the u64 to handle this case.
This is _not_ a regular endianness swap.
