[PATCH v2 07/11] multifd: Prepare to send a packet without the mutex held

[Juan Quintela <quintela@redhat.com>]

We do the send_prepare() and the fill of the head packet without the
mutex held.  It will help a lot for compression and later in the
series for zero pages.

Notice that we can use p->pages without holding p->mutex because
p->pending_job == 1.
