This function searches a bitmap for the first zero bit within a range.
It checks if there is a bitmap backend specific implementation
available (if the relevant field in bitmap_ops is non-NULL). If not,
it uses a generic and slow method by repeatedly calling test_bmap() in
a loop. Also change ext2fs_new_inode() to use this new function.

This change in itself does not result in a large speedup, rather it
refactors the code in preparation for the introduction of a faster
find_first_zero() for bitarray based bitmaps.
