migration_is_blocked() does an additional verification:

"if (migration_blockers)"

comparing to what was previously done in qemu_loadvm_state.

I've checked what migration_blockers does and it is a GList used
for callers to block the migration process. This is used via
'migration_add_blocker', from migration.c.

'migration_add_blocker' is called all over the place, most notably
in  _realize() functions  and _open() functions from block.

Thus, I am not sure if this change will impact the use of
qemu_loadvm_state() from load_snapshot() (i.e. can load_snapshot
be called with migration_blockers?). It's better to someone
with a better understanding of this code to comment on that.
