[PATCH v3] migration: clear the memory region dirty bitmap when skipping free pages

[Wei Wang]

When skipping free pages to send, their corresponding dirty bits in the
memory region dirty bitmap need to be cleared. Otherwise the skipped
pages will be sent in the next round after the migration thread syncs
dirty bits from the memory region dirty bitmap.

v2->v3 changelog:
- change migration_clear_memory_region_dirty_bitmap_range to use
  QEMU_ALIGN

v1->v2 changelog:
- move migration_clear_memory_region_dirty_bitmap under bitmap_mutex as
  we lack confidence to have it outside the lock for now.
- clean the unnecessary subproject commit.
