[Patch v2 6/6] migration/postcopy: enable compress during postcopy

[Wei Yang]

postcopy requires to place a whole host page, while migration thread
migrate memory in target page size. This makes postcopy need to collect
all target pages in one host page before placing via userfaultfd.

To enable compress during postcopy, there are two problems to solve:

    1. Random order for target page arrival
    2. Target pages in one host page arrives without interrupt by target
       page from other host page

The first one is handled by previous cleanup patch.

This patch handles the second one by:

    1. Flush compress thread for each host page
    2. Wait for decompress thread for before placing host page
