Starting from pss->page, ram_save_host_page() will check every page
and send the dirty pages up to the end of the current host page or
the boundary of used_length of the block. If the host page size is
a huge page, the step "check" will take a lot of time.

This will improve performance to use migration_bitmap_find_dirty().

This ends up looking very messy, with a goto inside the loop.

Wouldn't it be cleaner to invert the sense of the
migration_bitmap_clear_dirty() test, such that
migration_bitmap_find_dirty() is called after the body of the test?

Sorry for the late reply.
Thanks for your advice.  I will post a v2 as soon as possible.

Best Regards.
