Starting from pss->page, ram_save_host_page() will check every page
and send the dirty pages up to the end of the current host page or
the boundary of used_length of the block. If the host page size is
a huge page, the step "check" will take a lot of time.

It will improve performance to use migration_bitmap_find_dirty().

Tested on Kunpeng 920; VM parameters: 1U 4G (page size 1G)
The time of ram_save_host_page() in the last round of ram saving:
before optimize: 9250us		after optimize: 34us
