Avoid hot pages being replaced by others to remarkably decrease cache
misses
Sample results with the test program which quote from xbzrle.txt ran in
vm:(migrate bandwidth:1GE and xbzrle cache size 8MB)
the test program:
include <stdlib.h>
include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
char *buf = (char *) calloc(4096, 4096);
while (1) {
int i;
for (i = 0; i < 4096 * 4; i++) {
buf[i * 4096 / 4]++;
}
printf(".");
}
}
before this patch:
virsh qemu-monitor-command test_vm '{"execute": "query-migrate"}'
{"return":{"expected-downtime":1020,"xbzrle-cache":{"bytes":1108284,

18k pages sent compressed in 52 seconds.
cache-miss-rate is 98.7%, totally miss.
after optimizing:

{"return":{"expected-downtime":2054,"xbzrle-cache":{"bytes":5066763,

194k pages sent compressed in 18 seconds.
The value of cache-miss-rate decrease to 48.59%.

Push zero'd pages into the XBZRLE cache
A page that was cached by XBZRLE, zero'd and then XBZRLE'd again
was being compared against a stale cache value
Don't use 'qemu_put_buffer_async' to put pages from the XBZRLE cache
Since the cache might change before the data hits the wire

The page cache frees all data on finish, on resize and
if there is collision on insert. So it should be the caches
responsibility to dup the data that is stored in the cache.
