[PATCH RFC 06/10] migration: Support periodic CPU throttle

[Hyman Huang <yong.huang@smartx.com>]

When VM is configured with huge memory, the current throttle logic
doesn't look like to scale, because migration_trigger_throttle()
is only called for each iteration, so it won't be invoked for a long
time if one iteration can take a long time.

The periodic sync and throttle aims to fix the above issue by
synchronizing the remote dirty bitmap and triggering the throttle
periodically. This is a trade-off between synchronization overhead
and CPU throttle impact.
