[Qemu-ppc] [PATCH V2] spapr: Fix stale HTAB during live migration

[Samuel Mendoza-Jonas]

If a guest reboots during a running migration, changes to the
hash page table are not necessarily updated on the destination.
Opening a new file descriptor to the HTAB forces the migration
handler to resend the entire table.
