Paolo Bonzini 09f037aa48 KVM: MMU: speedup update_permission_bitmask
update_permission_bitmask currently does a 128-iteration loop to,
essentially, compute a constant array.  Computing the 8 bits in parallel
reduces it to 16 iterations, and is enough to speed it up substantially
because many boolean operations in the inner loop become constants or
simplify noticeably.

Because update_permission_bitmask is actually the top item in the profile
for nested vmexits, this speeds up an L2->L1 vmexit by about ten thousand
clock cycles, or up to 30%:

(I wrote a small C program to compare the tables for all values of CR0.WP,
CR4.SMAP and CR4.SMEP, and they match).
