My implementation of next_pow2_l() was incorrect.
e.g.

  perf record -m4296015872 uname
  rounding mmap pages size to 17592186044416 bytes (4294967296 pages)
  Invalid argument for --mmap_pages/-m

Notice that the next power-of-2 value 4294967296 is
less than the option value 4296015872.

Change to using  __builtin_clzl() and prevent the
shift being equal to the width of the operand.
Also __builtin_clzl(x) is undefined if x is 0,
so adjust the condition to preclude that
possibility.  Now:

  perf record -m4296015872 uname
  rounding mmap pages size to 35184372088832 bytes (8589934592 pages)
  Invalid argument for --mmap_pages/-m
