[PATCH 16/16] migration: Trivial cleanup on JSON writer of vmstate_save()

[Peter Xu]

Two small cleanups in the same section of vmstate_save():

  - Check vmdesc before the "mixed null/non-null data in array" logic, to
  be crystal clear that it's only about the JSON writer, not the vmstate on
  its own in the migration stream.

  - Since we have is_null variable now, use that to replace a check.
