27af7d6ea5 xbzrle: optimize XBZRLE to decrease the cache misses
Avoid hot pages being replaced by others to remarkably decrease cache
misses

Sample results with the test program which quote from xbzrle.txt ran in
vm:(migrate bandwidth:1GE and xbzrle cache size 8MB)

the test program:

include <stdlib.h>
include <stdio.h>
int main()
 {
        char *buf = (char *) calloc(4096, 4096);
        while (1) {
            int i;
            for (i = 0; i < 4096 * 4; i++) {
                buf[i * 4096 / 4]++;
            }
            printf(".");
        }
 }

before this patch:

cache-miss-rate is 98.7%, totally miss.

after optimizing:

194k pages sent compressed in 18 seconds.
The value of cache-miss-rate decrease to 48.59%.
