This is a long loop. It is preemptible, but will incur a time delay
proportional to the size of the domain during the VM downtime.
Could you defer the loop until after %cr3 has set been set up, and only
enter the loop if the kernel l4 table is missing the RO mappings? That
way, domains migrated with migration v2 will skip the loop entirely.

This is a behavioural change. Previously, the old value was clobbered.
It appears that you are now using this return value to indicate when the
entire pagelist has been walked, but it it relies on the slots being
zero, which is a fragile assumption.
