Present scenario
----------------
Currently, as a part of setting signature count per SGH, a max_idx is
passed which could be as high as the highest signature number (internal
ID).
Issue
-----
Not every SGH needs to evaluate all the signatures while setting
the signature count or while creating the match_array.
In a nonideal scenario, when say, there are 2 SGHs and one SGH has 2
signatures and the other one has 60k, given the current scheme of
evaluating max_idx, the max_idx will be set to 60k, and this shall
later be passed on to SigGroupHeadSetSigCnt or
SigGroupHeadBuildMatchArra which shall traverse over all the 60k sigs
for either SGHs.
Other info
----------
This is a very fast operation as the internal arithmetic is done
bitwise.
Patch
-----
The functions SigGroupHeadSetSigCnt and SigGroupHeadBuildMatchArray can
be optimized by storing the max signature id (internal) per SGH (which
also seemed to be the initial intention as per fn comments).
As a result of this, the sig_array is only walked up until the max sig
id of that respective SGH.
