include/uapi/linux/swab.h: fix userspace breakage, use __BITS_PER_LONG for swap
 
QEMU has a funny new build error message when I use the upstream kernel
headers:

This was triggered by commit d5767057c9a ("uapi: rename ext2_swab() to
swab() and share globally in swab.h").  That patch is doing

  #include <asm/bitsperlong.h>

but it uses BITS_PER_LONG.

The kernel file asm/bitsperlong.h provide only __BITS_PER_LONG.

Let us use the __ variant in swap.h
