One of bitmap_cut() tests passed it with:
	nbits = BITS_PER_LONG;
	first = BITS_PER_LONG;
	cut = BITS_PER_LONG;

This test is useless because the range to cut is not inside the
bitmap. This should normally raise an error, but bitmap_cut() is
void and returns nothing.

To check if the test is passed, it just tests that the memory is
not touched by bitmap_cut(), which is probably not correct, because
if a function is passed with wrong parameters, it's too optimistic 
to expect a correct, or even sane behavior.

Now that we have bitmap_check_params(), there's a tool to detect such
things in real code, and we can drop the test.

There are no "useless" tests. Same comments as per a couple of previous
patches.
