NAK, last_block == block will cause us to set the continue flag on the
first block.  I assume you're trying to prevent the last_block->offset
segv in the while test, but that should never happen.  The only time
last_block is NULL is at the beginning of stage 1, where all pages are
dirty.  At that point we should always enter the if {} block at the
beginning of the do {} while, which breaks out rather than hitting the
segv.  We'll then set last_block for the next pass.

This should also never happen since we've synchronized ramblocks at the
beginning of migration, but probably a good idea to return an error.
