[PATCH] linux/bits.h: adjust GENMASK_INPUT_CHECK() check

Recently the GENMASK_INPUT_CHECK() was added, aiming to catch cases
where there GENMASK arguments are flipped.
Although it seems to be triggering -Wtype-limits in the following cases:
unsigned foo = (10 + x);
unsigned bar = GENMASK(foo, 0);
const unsigned foo = (10 + x);
unsigned bar = GENMASK(foo, 0);
Here are the warnings, from my GCC 9.2 box.
warning: comparison of unsigned expression < 0 is always false [-Wtype-limits]
__builtin_constant_p((l) > (h)), (l) > (h), 0)))
^
warning: comparison of unsigned expression < 0 is always false [-Wtype-limits]
__builtin_constant_p((l) > (h)), (l) > (h), 0)))
^
This results in people disabling the warning all together or promoting
foo to signed. Either of which being a sub par option IMHO.
Add a trivial "+ 1" to each h and l in the constant expression.

GENMASK inputs")
