This seems to have killed savevm performance. I noticed that
qemu-iotests case 007 took forever on my test box (882 seconds instead
of something like 10 seconds). It can be reproduced by this script:

export MALLOC_PERTURB_=11
qemu-img create -f qcow2 -o compat=1.1 test.qcow2 1M
time qemu-system-x86_64 -nographic -hda $TEST_IMG -serial none -monitor stdio <<EOF
savevm test
quit
EOF

This used to take about 0.6s for me, after this patch it's around 10s.
