memory: RCU ram_list.dirty_memory[] for safe RAM hotplug
Although accesses to ram_list.dirty_memory[] use atomics so multiple
threads can safely dirty the bitmap, the data structure is not fully
thread-safe yet.

This patch handles the RAM hotplug case where ram_list.dirty_memory[] is
grown.  ram_list.dirty_memory[] is change from a regular bitmap to an
RCU array of pointers to fixed-size bitmap blocks.  Threads can continue
accessing bitmap blocks while the array is being extended.  See the
comments in the code for an in-depth explanation of struct
DirtyMemoryBlocks.

I have tested that live migration with virtio-blk dataplane works.
