vhost_save_backend_state() and vhost_load_backend_state() can be used by
vhost front-ends to easily save and load the back-end's state to/from
the migration stream.
Because we do not know the full state size ahead of time,
vhost_save_backend_state() simply reads the data in 1 MB chunks, and
writes each chunk consecutively into the migration stream, prefixed by
its length. EOF is indicated by a 0-length chunk.
