[PULL 07/12] migration: write zero pages when postcopy enabled

[Peter Xu <peterx@redhat.com>]

From: Prasad Pandit <pjp@fedoraproject.org>

During multifd migration, zero pages are written if
they are migrated more than once.

This may result in a migration thread hang issue when
multifd and postcopy are enabled together.

When postcopy is enabled, always write zero pages as and
when they are migrated.
