KVM: Reduce atomic operations on vcpu->requests

Browse Source 
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.
