bpf: Use __u64 to save the bits in bits iterator
On 32-bit hosts (e.g., arm32), when a bpf program passes a u64 to bpf_iter_bits_new(), bpf_iter_bits_new() will use bits_copy to store the content of the u64. However, bits_copy is only 4 bytes, leading to stack corruption. The straightforward solution would be to replace u64 with unsigned long in bpf_iter_bits_new(). However, this introduces confusion and problems for 32-bit hosts because the size of ulong in bpf program is 8 bytes, but it is treated as 4-bytes after passed to bpf_iter_bits_new(). Fix it by changing the type of both bits and bit_count from unsigned long to u64. However, the change is not enough. The main reason is that bpf_iter_bits_next() uses find_next_bit() to find the next bit and the pointer passed to find_next_bit() is an unsigned long pointer instead of a u64 pointer. For 32-bit little-endian host, it is fine but it is not the case for 32-bit big-endian host. Because under 32-bit big-endian host, the first iterated unsigned long will be the bits 32-63 of the u64 instead of the expected bits 0-31. Therefore, in addition to changing the type, swap the two unsigned longs within the u64 for 32-bit big-endian host.
