[PULL 2/9] migration/postcopy: not necessary to do discard when canonicalizing bitmap

["Dr. David Alan Gilbert (git)" <dgilbert@redhat.com>]

From: Wei Yang <richardw.yang@linux.intel.com>

All pages, either partially sent or partially dirty, will be discarded in
postcopy_send_discard_bm_ram(), since we update the unsentmap to be
unsentmap = unsentmap | dirty in ram_postcopy_send_discard_bitmap().

This is not necessary to do discard when canonicalizing bitmap. And by
doing so, we separate the page discard into two individual steps:

  * canonicalize bitmap
  * discard page
