From: Ivan Ren <ivan...@tencent.com>
This patch fix a multifd migration bug in migration speed calculation, this
problem can be reproduced as follows:
1. start a vm and give a heavy memory write stress to prevent the vm be
successfully migrated to destination
2. begin a migration with multifd
3. migrate for a long time [actually, this can be measured by transferred bytes]
4. migrate cancel
5. begin a new migration with multifd, the migration will directly run into
migration_completion phase
Reason as follows:
Migration update bandwidth and s->threshold_size in function
migration_update_counters after BUFFER_DELAY time:
current_bytes = migration_total_bytes(s);
transferred = current_bytes - s->iteration_initial_bytes;
time_spent = current_time - s->iteration_start_time;
bandwidth = (double)transferred / time_spent;
s->threshold_size = bandwidth * s->parameters.downtime_limit;
In multifd migration, migration_total_bytes function return
qemu_ftell(s->to_dst_file) + ram_counters.multifd_bytes.
s->iteration_initial_bytes will be initialized to 0 at every new migration,
but ram_counters is a global variable, and history migration data will be
accumulated. So if the ram_counters.multifd_bytes is big enough, it may lead
pending_size >= s->threshold_size become false in migration_iteration_run
after the first migration_update_counters.

v2->v3:
- fix the bug of update_iteration_initial_status function prototype
v1->v2:
- Add interface update_iteration_initial_status to update statistic fields
at the same time to avoid info mismatch lead wrong calculation result.
