smatch: misreported 'mask and shift to zero'

hi!
The smatch check with illumos code has warning:
/code/illumos-gate/usr/src/tools/proto/root_sparc-nd/opt/onbld/bin/sparc/smatch: /code/illumos-gate/usr/src/common/bignum/bignumimpl.c:1410 big_mul_add_vec() warn: mask and shift to zero
The code itself is perfectly legal:
http://src.illumos.org/source/xref/illumos-gate/usr/src/common/bignum/bignumimpl.c#1410
Investigating the issue, I think, I have found the issue:
match_binop2() is testing expressions having the form: (mask & value) >> shift
and the failure case is 'variable >> shift’.
What does happen is, we get incoming expression set to: '(mask & ) >> shift’
and the mask value is not correct.
In our specific error case we do have 64-bit lhs for >> operator, and we do shift 32 bits; the mask value is set to 0xFFFFFFFF, and shifting it by 32 bits, we do end up with match_binop2() reporting the warning.
Since this incoming expression is missing rhs for & expression, the fix is also obvious - add check to make sure we do have both hands for & expression.
