[Qemu-devel] [PULL v2 22/50] migrate: Update ram_block_discard_range for shared

["Michael S. Tsirkin" <mst@redhat.com>]

From: "Dr. David Alan Gilbert" <dgilbert@redhat.com>

The choice of call to discard a block is getting more complicated
for other cases.   We use fallocate PUNCH_HOLE in any file cases;
it works for both hugepage and for tmpfs.
We use the DONTNEED for non-hugepage cases either where they're
anonymous or where they're private.

Care should be taken when trying other backing files.
