Avoid hot pages being replaced by others to remarkably decrease cache
misses
Sample results with the test program which quote from xbzrle.txt ran in
vm:(migrate bandwidth:1GE and xbzrle cache size 8MB)
the test program:
include <stdlib.h>
include <stdio.h>
int main()
 {
        char *buf = (char *) calloc(4096, 4096);
        while (1) {
            int i;
            for (i = 0; i < 4096 * 4; i++) {
                buf[i * 4096 / 4]++;
            }
            printf(".");
        }
 }
before this patch:
virsh qemu-monitor-command test_vm '{"execute": "query-migrate"}'
{"return":{"expected-downtime":1020,"xbzrle-cache":{"bytes":1108284,
"cache-size":8388608,"cache-miss-rate":0.987013,"pages":18297,"overflow":8,

18k pages sent compressed in 52 seconds.
cache-miss-rate is 98.7%, totally miss.
after optimizing:
virsh qemu-monitor-command test_vm '{"execute": "query-migrate"}'
{"return":{"expected-downtime":2054,"xbzrle-cache":{"bytes":5066763,
"cache-size":8388608,"cache-miss-rate":0.485924,"pages":194823,"overflow":0,

194k pages sent compressed in 18 seconds.
The value of cache-miss-rate decrease to 48.59%.
