Firstly, renaming the old matching_page_sizes variable to
matching_target_page_size, which suites more to what it did (it only
checks against target page size rather than multiple page sizes).
Meanwhile, simplify the check logic a bit, and enhance the comments.
Should have no functional change.

That's OK, although 'matches_target_page_size' would be better wording.
('matching_target_page_size' implies we know something about the sources
target page size)

But, yes I think that's right; since this is in ram_load_postcopy
the only time we have !place_needed is in the not-last subpage of a
hugepage (or host page > target_page), so that's already covered
by the !matching_page_sizes check.
