migration: do not rom_reset() during incoming migration
Commit 18269069c310 ("migration: Introduce ignore-shared capability") addes ignore-shared capability to bypass the shared ramblock (e,g, membackend + numa node). It does good to live migration. As told by Yury,this commit expectes that QEMU doesn't write to guest RAM until VM starts, but it does on aarch64 qemu: Backtrace: 1 0x000055f4a296dd84 in address_space_write_rom_internal () at exec.c:3458 2 0x000055f4a296de3a in address_space_write_rom () at exec.c:3479 3 0x000055f4a2d519ff in rom_reset () at hw/core/loader.c:1101 4 0x000055f4a2d475ec in qemu_devices_reset () at hw/core/reset.c:69 5 0x000055f4a2c90a28 in qemu_system_reset () at vl.c:1675 6 0x000055f4a2c9851d in main () at vl.c:4552 Actually, on arm64 virt marchine, ramblock "dtb" will be filled into ram druing rom_reset. In ignore-shared incoming case, this rom filling is not required since all the data has been stored in memory backend file. Further more, as suggested by Peter Xu, if we do rom_reset() now with these ROMs then the RAM data should be re-filled again too with the migration stream coming in.
