[PULL,17/22] migration: Postpone postcopy preempt channel to be after main

Commit Message

From: Peter Xu <[e-mail]>

Postcopy with preempt-mode enabled needs two channels to communicate.  The
order of channel establishment is not guaranteed.  It can happen that the
dest QEMU got the preempt channel connection request before the main
channel is established, then the migration may make no progress even during
precopy due to the wrong order.

To fix it, create the preempt channel only if we know the main channel is
established.

For a general postcopy migration, we delay it until postcopy_start(),
that's where we already went through some part of precopy on the main
channel.  To make sure dest QEMU has already established the channel, we
wait until we got the first PONG received.  That's something we do at the
start of precopy when postcopy enabled so it's guaranteed to happen sooner
or later.

For a postcopy recovery, we delay it to qemu_savevm_state_resume_prepare()
where we'll have round trips of data on bitmap synchronizations, which
means the main channel must have been established.
