This patch adds an API to clear bits corresponding to guest free pages

Hi Dave,

Thanks for reviewing this patch. There will be a little more change here about calculating "ram_state->migration_dirty_pages" since we just extend this optimization to all the stages now (instead of just bulk stage). Please have a check more explanations at the v4 cover-letter ChangeLog.

Best,
Wei
