migration: do not flush_compressed_data at the end of iteration

Browse Source 
flush_compressed_data() needs to wait all compression threads to
finish their work, after that all threads are free until the
migration feeds new request to them, reducing its call can improve
the throughput and use CPU resource more effectively

We do not need to flush all threads at the end of iteration, the
data can be kept locally until the memory block is changed or
memory migration starts over in that case we will meet a dirtied
page which may still exists in compression threads's ring
