raid6.c was failing to build for Goffredo and me due to
__attribute_const__ being undefined.
Define it in kerncompat.h and include that; this also makes
sure BITS_PER_LONG is defined for raid6.c, prior to this it
was not defined, at least in my build.
Finally, redefine BITS_PER_LONG in a way that it can be
tested in the preprocessor macro.

David Woodhouse originally contributed this code, and Chris Mason
changed it around to reflect the current design goals for raid56.
The original code expected all metadata and data writes to be full
stripes. This meant metadata block size == stripe size, and had a few
other restrictions.
This version allows metadata blocks smaller than the stripe size. It
implements both raid5 and raid6, although it does not have code to
rebuild from parity if one of the drives is missing or incorrect.
