Subject: [PATCH v4 4/8] KVM: Optimize kvm_make_vcpus_request_mask() a bit

Iterating over set bits in 'vcpu_bitmap' should be faster than going
through all vCPUs, especially when just a few bits are set.

Drop kvm_make_vcpus_request_mask() call from kvm_make_all_cpus_request_except()
to avoid handling the special case when 'vcpu_bitmap' is NULL, move the
code to kvm_make_all_cpus_request_except() itself.
