control_save_page() is for RDMA only, unfold it to make the code more
clear.
In addition:
- Similar to other branches style in ram_save_target_page(), involve RDMA
only if the condition 'migrate_rdma()' is true.
- Further simplify the code by removing the RAM_SAVE_CONTROL_NOT_SUPP.

Not sure if some compiler will be unhappy on the retval not provided, but
anyway we'll see..

There is no problem in fedora 40(gcc 14.2.1) and ubuntu2204(gcc 11.4.0) with --disable-rdma.
I also noticed we have a few existing same usage:
1708 bool ram_write_tracking_compatible(void)
1709 {
1710 g_assert_not_reached();
1711 }
1712
1713 int ram_write_tracking_start(void)
1714 {
1715 g_assert_not_reached();
1716 }
1717
1718 void ram_write_tracking_stop(void)
1719 {
1720 g_assert_not_reached();
1721 }
I also asked the AI/Deepseek-R1, pasted a piece of his answer
```
3. Why No Warning for Missing return? 🚨
Typical case: A non-void function missing a return triggers -Wreturn-type warnings (enabled by -Wall).
This case: The noreturn annotation ensures no execution path exists beyond g_assert_not_reached(). Because the compiler recognizes this, no warning is necessary.
Conclusion
GCC trusts the noreturn annotation of g_assert_not_reached(), recognizing that the function’s control flow ends there. Thus, no warning is emitted. For code safety, ensure assertions are active or add fallback code if needed.

Right.
The other question is what about G_DISABLE_ASSERT, then I found this:
osdep.h:
#ifdef G_DISABLE_ASSERT
#error building with G_DISABLE_ASSERT is not supported
#endif
So yeah, we should be good.
