Please keep these type of cleanups separate.

I think this might work for a 4k page host; but I'm not sure it's
safe on hugepages or ARM/Power where they have bigger pages.
ram_load_postcopy relies on all of the pages within a single hostpage
arriving before the last subpage and that's what then triggers the call
to postcopy_place_page; that relies on some ordering - but I don't
think that the multiple compress threads on the source have any ordering
between the threads - or am I missing something about how the multiple
threads are organised?
