This patch will reduce the downtime of VM for the initial process,
Previously, we copied all these memory in preparing stage of COLO
while we need to stop VM, which is a time-consuming process.
Here we optimize it by a trick, back-up every page while in migration
process while COLO is enabled, though it affects the speed of the
migration, but it obviously reduce the downtime of back-up all SVM'S
memory in COLO preparing stage.

minor typo fixes
Currently, if the bytes_dirty_period is more than the 50% of
bytes_xfer_period, we start or increase throttling.
If we make this percentage higher, then we can tolerate higher
dirty rate during migration, which means less impact on guest.
The side effect of higher percentage is longer migration time.
We can make this parameter configurable to switch between mig-
ration time first or guest performance first.
The default value is 50 and valid range is 1 to 100.

Usually, incoming migration coroutine yields to the main loop
while its IO-channel is waiting for data to receive. But there is a case
when RAM migration and data receive have the same speed: VM with huge
zeroed RAM. In this case, IO-channel won't read and thus the main loop
is stuck and for instance, it doesn't respond to QMP commands.
For this case, yield periodically, but not too often, so as not to
affect the speed of migration.

There is a race between TCG and accesses to the dirty log:
vCPU thread reader thread
----------------------- -----------------------
TLB check -> slow path
notdirty_mem_write
write to RAM
set dirty flag
clear dirty flag
TLB check -> fast path
read memory
write to RAM
Fortunately, in order to fix it, no change is required to the
vCPU thread. However, the reader thread must delay the read after
the vCPU thread has finished the write. This can be approximated
conservatively by run_on_cpu, which waits for the end of the current
translation block.
A similar technique is used by KVM, which has to do a synchronous TLB
flush after doing a test-and-clear of the dirty-page flags.

This makes easy to debug things because when you want for all threads
to arrive at that semaphore, you know which one your are waiting for.
