There's a qemu_fflush() hiding inside migration_transferred_bytes(). It
currently always flushes if we haven't detected an error in the
file. After this patch we will stop flushing at this point if
ratelimiting is disabled.

You might want to add that information to the commit message to make it
easier to track if this ends up causing a regression.
