From: fuqiang wang <wangfuqiang49@jd.com>
When using a low dirtylimit to restrict a VM with a high dirty ratio,
such as in the guestperf test scenario compr-dirty-limit-period-1000
(dirtylimit=1), this can lead to too long sleep times for the vcpu
threads and the migration thread may have to wait vcpu thread due to the
kick operation, and during this waiting period, the guest will make some
dirty pages at a high speed, which causes convergence issues.
However, during the vcpu thread sleeping, it is not in kernel space
(kvm), so there is no need to wait for a kick.
