[v2,2/2] migration: not require length align when choose fast dirty sync path

In commit aa777e297c84 ("cpu_physical_memory_sync_dirty_bitmap: Another
alignment fix"), ramblock length is required to align word pages when
we choose the fast dirty sync path. The reason is that "If the Ramblock
is less than 64 pages in length that long can contain bits representing
two different RAMBlocks, but the code will update the bmap belinging to
the 1st RAMBlock only while having updated the total dirty page count
for both."

This is right before commit 801110ab22be ("find_ram_offset: Align
ram_addr_t allocation on long boundaries"), which align ram_addr_t
allocation on long boundaries. So currently we wont "updated the total
dirty page count for both".

By removing the alignment constraint of length in fast path, we can always
use fast dirty sync path if start_global is aligned to word page.
