To achieve desired "x-ignore-shared" functionality, we should not
discard all RAM when realizing the device and not mess with
preallocation/postcopy when loading device state. In essence, we should
not touch RAM content.

As "x-ignore-shared" gets set after realizing the device, we cannot
rely on that. Let's simply skip discarding of RAM on incoming migration.
Note that virtio_mem_post_load() will call
virtio_mem_restore_unplugged() -- unless "x-ignore-shared" is set. So
once migration finished we'll have a consistent state.

The initial system reset will also not discard any RAM, because
virtio_mem_unplug_all() will not call virtio_mem_unplug_all() when no
memory is plugged (which is the case before loading the device state).

Note that something like VM templating -- see commit b17fbbe55cba
("migration: allow private destination ram with x-ignore-shared") -- is
currently incompatible with virtio-mem and ram_block_discard_range() will
warn in case a private file mapping is supplied by virtio-mem.

For VM templating with virtio-mem, it makes more sense to either
(a) Create the template without the virtio-mem device and hotplug a
    virtio-mem device to the new VM instances using proper own memory
    backend.
(b) Use a virtio-mem device that doesn't provide any memory in the
    template (requested-size=0) and use private anonymous memory.
