bitops: unroll while loop in find_next_bit()

this patch adopts the loop unrolling idea of bitmap_is_zero() to
speed up the skipping of large areas with zeros in find_next_bit().

this routine is extensively used to find dirty pages in
live migration.

testing only the find_next_bit performance on a zeroed bitfield
the loop onrolling decreased executing time by approx. 50% on x86_64.
