[PATCH] migration/throttle: use the xfer pages as threshold

[Wang Xin]

If VM migration with lots of zero page or enable data compress, the peroid
tansfer bytes may be much less than the available bandwidth, which trigger
unnecessary guest throttle down. Use the raw transfer pages as the
threshold instead.
