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.

Uber nit, if you're moving "int i, me;" to get reverse fir tree ordering, it
should be moved below "bool called;" as well, which you amusingly did do in the
below function :-)
 
 	me = get_cpu();
