Commit Message

From: Hyman Huang <yong.huang@smartx.com>

When VM is configured with huge memory, the current throttle logic
doesn't look like to scale, because migration_trigger_throttle()
is only called for each iteration, so it won't be invoked for a long
time if one iteration can take a long time.

The periodic dirty sync aims to fix the above issue by synchronizing
the ramblock from remote dirty bitmap and, when necessary, triggering
the CPU throttle multiple times during a long iteration.

This is a trade-off between synchronization overhead and CPU throttle
impact.
