There are two scenarios for the requirement of collapsing small sptes
into large sptes.
- dirty logging tracks sptes in 4k granularity, so large sptes are split,
the large sptes will be reallocated in the destination machine and the
guest in the source machine will be destroyed when live migration successfully.
However, the guest in the source machine will continue to run if live migration
fail due to some reasons, the sptes still keep small which lead to bad
performance.
- our customers write tools to track the dirty speed of guests by EPT D bit/PML
in order to determine the most appropriate one to be live migrated, however
sptes will still keep small after tracking dirty speed.
This patch introduce lazy collapse small sptes into large sptes, the memory region
will be scanned on the ioctl context when dirty log is stopped, the ones which can
be collapsed into large pages will be dropped during the scan, it depends the on
later #PF to reallocate all large sptes.

v1 -> v2:
* use 'bool' instead of 'int'
* add more comments
* fix can not get the next spte after drop the current spte

If the conditions are not comfortable, it does loop forever...
Otherwise, it looks good to me.
