RAS/AMD/ATL: Replace bitwise_xor_bits() with hweight16()

Doing hweight16() and checking whether the lsb is set is functionally
equivalent to what bitwise_xor_bits() does. In addition, it results in better
generated code as before gcc would inline the function 4 times.  With hweight16(),
the resulting code boils down to 2 instructions -  POPCNT and AND, and all
relevant CPUs support POPCNT.

An alternative would have been to use the __builtin_parity() function provided
by both Clang/GCC, however under some circumstances the compiler can choose not
to inline it but generate a library call which is unsupported in the kernel.

No functional changes.
