migration/ram: Optimize ram_write_tracking_start() for RamDiscardManager

ram_block_populate_read() already optimizes for RamDiscardManager.
However, ram_write_tracking_start() will still try protecting discarded
memory ranges.

Let's optimize, because discarded ranges don't map any pages and

(1) For anonymous memory, trying to protect using uffd-wp without a mapped
    page is ignored by the kernel and consequently a NOP.

(2) For shared/file-backed memory, we will fill present page tables in the
    range with PTE markers. However, we will even allocate page tables
    just to fill them with unnecessary PTE markers and effectively
    waste memory.

So let's exclude these ranges, just like ram_block_populate_read()
already does.
