zlib_send_prepare() compresses pages of a running VM. zlib does not
make any thread-safety guarantees with respect to changing deflate()
input concurrently with deflate() [1].
One can observe problems due to this with the IBM zEnterprise Data
Compression accelerator capable zlib [2]. When the hardware
acceleration is enabled, migration/multifd/tcp/plain/zlib test fails
intermittently [3] due to sliding window corruption. The accelerator's
architecture explicitly discourages concurrent accesses [4]:
Page 26-57, "Other Conditions":
As observed by this CPU, other CPUs, and channel
programs, references to the parameter block, first,
second, and third operands may be multiple-access
references, accesses to these storage locations are
not necessarily block-concurrent, and the sequence
of these accesses or references is undefined.
Mark Adler pointed out that vanilla zlib performs double fetches under
certain circumstances as well [5], therefore we need to copy data
before passing it to deflate().

g_new(T, n) is neater than g_malloc(sizeof(T) * n). It's also safer,
for two reasons. One, it catches multiplication overflowing size_t.
Two, it returns T * rather than void *, which lets the compiler catch
more type errors.
This commit only touches allocations with size arguments of the form
sizeof(T).

Rename num_normal_pages to total_normal_pages (peter)
We are only sending normal pages through multifd channels.
Later on this series, we are going to also send zero pages.
We are going to detect if a page is zero or non zero in the multifd
channel thread, not on the main thread.
So we receive an array of pages page->offset[N]
And we will end with:
p->normal[N - zero_pages]
p->zero[zero_pages].
In this patch, we just copy all the pages in offset to normal.
for (i = 0; i < pages->num; i++) {
p->narmal[p->normal_num] = pages->offset[i];
p->normal_num++:
}
Later in the series this becomes:
for (i = 0; i < pages->num; i++) {
if (buffer_is_zero(page->offset[i])) {
p->zerol[p->zero_num] = pages->offset[i];
p->zero_num++:
} else {
p->narmal[p->normal_num] = pages->offset[i];
p->normal_num++:
}
}

Improving comment (dave)
Renaming num_normal_pages to total_normal_pages (peter)
It happens that there are functions to calculate the worst possible
compression size for a packet. Use them.

So printing it as %d is wrong. Notice that for the channel id, that
is an uint8_t, but I changed it anyways for consistency.

We are dividing by page_size to multiply again in the only use.
