[PATCH] lib/iommu-helper: skip to next segment

[Sebastian Ott]

When a large enough area in the iommu bitmap is found but would
span a boundary we continue the search starting from the next
bit position. For large allocations this can lead to several
useless invocations of bitmap_find_next_zero_area() and
iommu_is_span_boundary().

Continue the search from the start of the next segment (which is
the next bit position such that we'll not cross the same segment
boundary again).
