When handle dirty log, we face qemu_real_host_page_size and
TARGET_PAGE_SIZE. The first one is the granule of KVM dirty
bitmap, and the second one is the granule of QEMU dirty bitmap.

As qemu_real_host_page_size >= TARGET_PAGE_SIZE (kvm_init()
enforced it), misuse TARGET_PAGE_SIZE to init kvmslot dirty_bmap
may waste memory. For example, when qemu_real_host_page_size is
64K and TARGET_PAGE_SIZE is 4K, it wastes 93.75% (15/16) memory.
