memory: include DIRTY_MEMORY_MIGRATION in the dirty log mask
The separate handling of DIRTY_MEMORY_MIGRATION, which does not call log_start/log_stop callbacks when it changes in a region's dirty logging mask, has caused several bugs. One recent example is commit 4cc856f (kvm-all: Sync dirty-bitmap from kvm before kvm destroy the corresponding dirty_bitmap, 2015-04-02). Another performance problem is that KVM keeps tracking dirty pages after a failed live migration, which causes bad performance due to disallowing huge page mapping. This patch removes the root cause of the problem by reporting DIRTY_MEMORY_MIGRATION changes via log_start and log_stop. Note that we now have to rebuild the FlatView when global dirty logging is enabled or disabled; this ensures that log_start and log_stop callbacks are invoked. This will also be used to make the setting of bitmaps conditional. In general, this patch lets users of the memory API ignore the global state of dirty logging if they handle dirty logging generically per region.
