migration: Postpone the kick of the fault thread after recover

Browse Source 
The new migrate_send_rp_req_pages_pending() call should greatly improve
destination responsiveness because it will resync faulted address after
postcopy recovery.  However it is also the 1st place to initiate the page
request from the main thread.

One thing is overlooked on that migrate_send_rp_message_req_pages() is not
designed to be thread-safe.  So if we wake the fault thread before syncing all
the faulted pages in the main thread, it means they can race.

Postpone the wake up operation after the sync of faulted addresses.

Fixes: 0c26781c09 ("migration: Sync requested pages after postcopy recovery")
