KVM: Reduce atomic operations on vcpu->requests
Usually the vcpu->requests bitmap is sparse, so a test_and_clear_bit() for each request generates a large number of unneeded atomics if a bit is set. Replace with a separate test/clear sequence. This is safe since there is no clear_bit() outside the vcpu thread. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>
