This is a follow up on the other commit "migration/ram: avoid to do log
clear in the last round" but for postcopy.
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250514115827.3216082-1-yanfei.xu@bytedance.com
I can observe more than 10% reduction of average page fault latency during
postcopy phase with this optimization:
Before: 268.00us (+-1.87%)
After: 232.67us (+-2.01%)
The test was done with a 16GB VM with 80 vCPUs, running a workload that
busy random writes to 13GB memory.
