lib: introduce common method to convert hex digits
hex_to_bin() is a little method which converts hex digit to its actual
value. There are plenty of places where such functionality is needed.
[akpm@linux-foundation.org: use tolower(), saving 3 bytes, test the more common case first - it's quicker]
[akpm@linux-foundation.org: relocate tolower to make it even faster! (Joe)]
