migration: keep bytes_xfer_prev init'd to zero

The first time migration_bitmap_sync() is called, bytes_xfer_prev is set
to ram_state.bytes_transferred which is, at this point, zero. The next
time migration_bitmap_sync() is called, an iteration has happened and
bytes_xfer_prev is set to 'x' bytes. Most likely, more than one second
has passed, so the auto converge logic will be triggered and
bytes_xfer_now will also be set to 'x' bytes.

This condition is currently masked by dirty_rate_high_cnt, which will
wait for a few iterations before throttling. It would otherwise always
assume zero bytes have been copied and therefore throttle the guest
(possibly) prematurely.

Given bytes_xfer_prev is only used by the auto convergence logic, it
makes sense to only set its value after a check has been made against
bytes_xfer_now.
