[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] migration: avoid divide by zero in xbzrle cache miss rate

[Michael Chapman]

This bug manifested itself as a VM that could not be resumed by libvirt
following a migration:

  # virsh resume example
  error: Failed to resume domain example
  error: internal error: cannot parse json {"return":
    {"xbzrle-cache":
      {..., "cache-miss-rate": -nan, ...},
      ...
    }
  }: lexical error: malformed number, a digit is required after the minus sign.

This patch also ensures xbzrle_cache_miss_prev and iterations_prev are
cleared at the start of the migration.
