[PATCH] migration/multifd: Fix loop conditions in multifd_zstd_send_prepare and multifd_zstd_recv

[Stefan Weil via]

GitHub's CodeQL reports four critical errors which are fixed by this commit:

    Unsigned difference expression compared to zero

An expression (u - v > 0) with unsigned values u, v is only false if u == v,
so all changed expressions did not work as expected.

Signed-off-by: Stefan Weil <sw@weilnetz.de>

I don't know what effect the errors will have.
Please check whether the fix should be backported to existing versions of QEMU.

And I think that it might be a good idea to add the security check to
https://github.com/qemu/qemu, too. The critical errors here and in net/colo-compare.c
were not reported by other static code analyzers as far as I know.
Paolo, if desired, I can send a patch for CodeQL.

I hope Paolo can see these lines.

Patch queued, thanks.
