blk-mq: abstract tag allocation out into sbitmap library

This is a generally useful data structure, so make it available to anyone else who might want to use it. It's also a nice cleanup separating the allocation logic from the rest of the tag handling logic. The code is behind a new Kconfig option, CONFIG_SBITMAP, which is only selected by CONFIG_BLOCK for now. This should be a complete noop functionality-wise.
