Fixed, much better.

I've been trying to reuse some bitmap related function in the kernel,
like IS_ALIGNED(), but can't find anything. Or at least it doesn't occur
to me how.

kvm_is_block_size_supported() returns true if @size matches only one of
the bits set in kvm_supported_block_sizes(). For example, given these
supported sizes: 10000100001000.

kvm_is_block_size_supported(100000000) => true
kvm_is_block_size_supported(1100) => false
