This patch redefines the interfacing of ->send_prepare(). It further
simplifies multifd_send_thread() especially on zero copy.
Now with the new interface, we require the hook to do all the work for
preparing the IOVs to send. After it's completed, the IOVs should be ready
to be dumped into the specific multifd QIOChannel later.
So now the API looks like:
p->pages -----------> send_prepare() -------------> IOVs
This also prepares for the case where the input can be extended to even not
any p->pages. But that's for later.
This patch will achieve similar goal of what Fabiano used to propose here:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240126221943.26628-1-farosas@suse.de
However the send() interface may not be necessary. I'm boldly attaching a
"Co-developed-by" for Fabiano.

This array is redundant when p->pages exists. Now we extended the life of
p->pages to the whole period where pending_job is set, it should be safe to
always use p->pages->offset[] rather than p->normal[]. Drop the array.
Alongside, the normal_num is also redundant, which is the same to
p->pages->num.
This doesn't apply to recv side, because there's no extra buffering on recv
side, so p->normal[] array is still needed.

zlib_send_prepare() compresses pages of a running VM. zlib does not
make any thread-safety guarantees with respect to changing deflate()
input concurrently with deflate() [1].
One can observe problems due to this with the IBM zEnterprise Data
Compression accelerator capable zlib [2]. When the hardware
acceleration is enabled, migration/multifd/tcp/plain/zlib test fails
intermittently [3] due to sliding window corruption. The accelerator's
architecture explicitly discourages concurrent accesses [4]:
Page 26-57, "Other Conditions":
As observed by this CPU, other CPUs, and channel
programs, references to the parameter block, first,
second, and third operands may be multiple-access
references, accesses to these storage locations are
not necessarily block-concurrent, and the sequence
of these accesses or references is undefined.
Mark Adler pointed out that vanilla zlib performs double fetches under
certain circumstances as well [5], therefore we need to copy data
before passing it to deflate().

g_new(T, n) is neater than g_malloc(sizeof(T) * n). It's also safer,
for two reasons. One, it catches multiplication overflowing size_t.
Two, it returns T * rather than void *, which lets the compiler catch
more type errors.
This commit only touches allocations with size arguments of the form
sizeof(T).

Rename num_normal_pages to total_normal_pages (peter)
We are only sending normal pages through multifd channels.
Later on this series, we are going to also send zero pages.
We are going to detect if a page is zero or non zero in the multifd
channel thread, not on the main thread.
So we receive an array of pages page->offset[N]
And we will end with:
p->normal[N - zero_pages]
p->zero[zero_pages].
In this patch, we just copy all the pages in offset to normal.
for (i = 0; i < pages->num; i++) {
p->narmal[p->normal_num] = pages->offset[i];
p->normal_num++:
}
Later in the series this becomes:
for (i = 0; i < pages->num; i++) {
if (buffer_is_zero(page->offset[i])) {
p->zerol[p->zero_num] = pages->offset[i];
p->zero_num++:
} else {
p->narmal[p->normal_num] = pages->offset[i];
p->normal_num++:
}
}

Renaming num_normal_pages to total_normal_pages (peter)
It happens that there are functions to calculate the worst possible
compression size for a packet. Use them.
