when translating descriptors they are typically less than memory region that holds them and translated into 1 iov entry, so it's not nessesary to check remaining length twice and calculate used length and next address in such cases. replace a remaining length and 'size' increment branches with a single remaining length check and execute next iov steps only when it needed. It saves a tiny 2% of translate_desc() execution time.
