In 8.0 devel window we reworked preempt channel creation, so that there'll
be no race condition when the migration channel and preempt channel got
established in the wrong order in commit 5655aab079.

However no one noticed that the change will also be not compatible with
older qemus, majorly 7.1/7.2 versions where preempt mode started to be
supported.

Leverage the same pre-7.2 flag introduced in the previous patch to recover
the behavior hopefully before 8.0 releases, so we don't break migration
when we migrate from 8.0 to older qemu binaries.

Fixes: 5655aab079 ("migration: Postpone postcopy preempt channel to be after main")
