A bitset without mask in a _SET request means we want exactly the bits in
the bitset to be set. This works correctly for compact format but when
verbose format is parsed, ethnl_update_bitset32_verbose() only sets the
bits present in the request bitset but does not clear the rest. The commit
6699170376 fixes this issue by clearing the whole target bitmap before we
start iterating. The solution proposed brought an issue with the behavior
of the mod variable. As the bitset is always cleared the old val will
always differ to the new val.
Fix it by adding a new temporary variable which save the state of the old
bitmap.
