RDMA will pin all guest memory (as documented in docs/rdma.txt). We want to disable RAM block discards - however, to keep it simple use ram_block_discard_is_required() instead of inhibiting. Note: It is not sufficient to limit disabling to pin_all. Even when only conditionally pinning 1 MB chunks, as soon as one page within such a chunk was discarded and one page not, the discarded pages will be pinned as well.
