bitmap: generalize node_random()

Generalize node_random() and make it available to general bitmaps and
cpumasks users.

Notice, find_first_bit() is generally faster than find_nth_bit(), and we
employ it when there's a single set bit in the bitmap.

See commit 3e061d924fe9c7b4 ("lib/nodemask: optimize node_random for
nodemask with single NUMA node").
