[PATCH V3 Resend] hrtimer: use ffs() to iterate over valid bits from active_bases

From: Viresh Kumar
Date: Thu Mar 27 2014 - 01:55:06 EST


Currently we are iterating over all possible (currently four) bits of
active_bases to see if corresponding clock bases are active. This is good enough
for cases where 3 or 4 bases are used but if only 1 or 2 are used then it makes
more sense to use ffs() to find the right bit directly.

V3->Resend: s/__ffs/ffs in commit log :(

V2->V3: Use ffs() instead of __ffs() and decrement 'i' later.

V1->V2: Instead of removing active_bases use __ffs() on it to make loop more
efficient.
