[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 02/12] migration: No need to take rcu during sync_dirty_bitmap

[Peter Xu]

cpu_physical_memory_sync_dirty_bitmap() has one RAMBlock* as
parameter, which means that it must be with RCU read lock held
already.  Taking it again inside seems redundant.  Removing it.
Instead comment on the functions about the RCU read lock.
