[Qemu-devel] [PATCH COLO-Frame v10 31/38] COLO: Split qemu_savevm_state_begin out of checkpoint process

[zhanghailiang]

It is unnecessary to call qemu_savevm_state_begin() in every checkponit process.
It mainly sets up devices and does the first device state pass. These data will
not change during the later checkpoint process. So, we split it out of
colo_do_checkpoint_transaction(), in this way, we can reduce these data
transferring in the later checkpoint.
