add patch to avoid huge snapshot performance regression

Taking a snapshot became prohibitively slow because of the
migration_transferred_bytes() call in migration_rate_exceeded() [0].

This also applied to the async snapshot taking in Proxmox VE, so
work around the issue until it is fixed upstream.

Subject: [PATCH] migration states: workaround snapshot performance regression
Commit 813cd616 ("migration: Use migration_transferred_bytes() to
calculate rate_limit") introduced a prohibitive performance regression
when taking a snapshot [0]. The reason turns out to be the flushing
done by migration_transferred_bytes()
Just use a _noflush version of the relevant function as a workaround
until upstream fixes the issue. This is inspired by a not-applied
upstream series [1], but doing the very minimum to avoid the
regression.
