[PULL 02/30] memory: Fix qemu crash on starting dirty log twice with stopped VM

[Paolo Bonzini]

From: Peter Xu <peterx@redhat.com>

QEMU can now easily crash with two continuous migration carried out:

(qemu) migrate -d exec:cat>out
(qemu) migrate_cancel
(qemu) migrate -d exec:cat>out
[crash] ../softmmu/memory.c:2782: memory_global_dirty_log_start: Assertion
`!(global_dirty_tracking & flags)' failed.

It's because memory API provides a way to postpone dirty log stop if the VM is
stopped, and that'll be re-done until the next VM start.  It was added in 2017
with commit 1931076077 ("migration: optimize the downtime", 2017-08-01).

However the recent work on allowing dirty tracking to be bitmask broke it,
which is commit 63b41db4bc ("memory: make global_dirty_tracking a bitmask",
2021-11-01).

The fix proposed in this patch contains two things:

  (1) Instead of passing over the flags to postpone stop dirty track, we add a
      global variable (along with current vmstate_change variable) to record
      what flags to stop dirty tracking.

  (2) When start dirty tracking, instead if remove the vmstate hook directly,
      we also execute the postponed stop process so that we make sure all the
      starts and stops will be paired.

This procedure is overlooked in the bitmask-ify work in 2021.
