Resizing while migrating is dangerous and does not work as expected.
The whole migration code works with the usable_length of a ram block and
does not expect this value to change at random points in time.
In the case of postcopy, relying on used_length is racy as soon as the
guest is running. Also, when used_length changes we might leave the
uffd handler registered for some memory regions, reject valid pages
when migrating and fail when sending the recv bitmap to the source.
Resizing can be trigger *after* (but not during) a reset in
ACPI code by the guest
- hw/arm/virt-acpi-build.c:acpi_ram_update()
- hw/i386/acpi-build.c:acpi_ram_update()
Let's remember the original used_length in a separate variable and
use it in relevant postcopy code. Make sure to update it when we resize
during precopy, when synchronizing the RAM block sizes with the source.

We need some of the fields without having to poison everything else.
