migration/ram: Rely on used_length for uffd_change_protection()

ram_mig_ram_block_resized() will abort migration (including background
snapshots) when resizing a RAMBlock. ram_block_populate_read() will only
populate RAM up to used_length, so at least for anonymous memory
protecting everything between used_length and max_length won't
actually be protected and is just a NOP.

So let's only protect everything up to used_length.

Note: it still makes sense to register uffd-wp for max_length, such
that RAM_UF_WRITEPROTECT is independent of a changing used_length.
