Hi all!

I'm resending this now, as Eric started to review v2 and it occurs
outdated.

Last time it was somehow postponed, and I thought that I'll to
rebase it onto Max's
"[PATCH v2 0/3] migration: Add block-bitmap-mapping parameter"

Of course, if this goes into 5.1, Max's series will need a rebase, sorry
for this.

So we need to decide now, do we really want this in 5.1?

pros: it fixes real problems
cons: - it affects migration in invasive way. Still, it may be not bad,
    if we double check that it don't affect migration when dirty-bitmaps
    migration capability is disabled (the default).
      - seems, there are at least one more crash which Max found. I
      don't remember now, if I reproduced it on top of my series or
      not...

If we decide, that it goes to 5.2, than again, let's decide which series
goes first. I'm OK either way, and can rebase this series, or rebase
Max's series myself, if he will not have time (I fill responsive for all
this mess, sorry).

Max, please look at this series if you have some time, you are familiar
with code now.

====

Original idea of bitmaps postcopy migration is that bitmaps are non
critical data, and their loss is not serious problem. So, using postcopy
method on any failure we should just drop unfinished bitmaps and
continue guest execution.

However, it doesn't work so. It crashes, fails, it goes to
postcopy-recovery feature. It does anything except for behavior we want.
These series fixes at least some problems with error handling during
bitmaps migration postcopy.

====

v3:
- 199-iotest improvements moved to the beginning of the series, v2:0018 already 
merged upstream.
- add r-b and t-b marks by Andrey and Eric

03: rename same variables [Andrey] 
05,06: update commit msg
08: some changes due to rebase, still, keep Eric's and Andrey's r-bs
11: rebased, drop r-b
14: s/,/;/
15: handle cancelled at start of dirty_bitmap_load_start()
17: Modify error message a bit, keep r-bs
18: Rebased on 03 changes
20: add comment

v2:

Most of patches are new or changed a lot.
Only patches 06,07 mostly unchanged, just rebased on refactorings.
