[PATCHv2 3/3] hvsupport: skip non-matching lines early

[Ján Tomko <jtomko@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Most of the lines we look at are not going to match one of the
driver types contained in $groups_regex.

Move on to the next line if it does not contain any of them early.
This speeds up the script execution by 50%, since this simple regex
does not have any capture groups.
