This patch set tries enable compress during postcopy.
postcopy requires to place a whole host page, while migration thread migrate
memory in target page size. This makes postcopy need to collect all target
pages in one host page before placing via userfaultfd.
To enable compress during postcopy, there are two problems to solve:
1. Random order for target page arrival
2. Target pages in one host page arrives without interrupt by target
page from other host page
The first one is handled by counting the number of target pages arrived
instead of the last target page arrived.
The second one is handled by:
1. Flush compress thread for each host page
2. Wait for decompress thread for before placing host page
With the combination of these two changes, compress is enabled during
postcopy.
