[PATCH 2/4] x86/hvm: Use for_each_set_bit() in hvm_emulate_writeback()



... which is more consise than the opencoded form.

Also, for production VMs, ~100% of emulations are simple MOVs, so it is likely
that there are no segments to write back.

Furthermore, now that find_{first,next}_bit() are no longer in use, the
seg_reg_{accessed,dirty} fields aren't forced to be unsigned long, although
they do need to remain unsigned int because of __set_bit() elsewhere.

No practical change.

Pulling current out into curr is good for code generation.  When using current
in the loop, GCC can't retain the calculation across the call to
hvm_set_segment_register() and is forced to re-read from the cpu_info block.

However, if curr is initialised, it's calculated even in the likely path...
