migration: fix deadlock

Release qemu global mutex before call synchronize_rcu().
synchronize_rcu() waiting for all readers to finish their critical
sections. There is at least one critical section in which we try
to get QGM (critical section is in address_space_rw() and
prepare_mmio_access() is trying to aquire QGM).

Both functions (migration_end() and migration_bitmap_extend())
are called from main thread which is holding QGM.

Thus there is a race condition that ends up with deadlock:
main thread     working thread
Lock QGA                |
|             Call KVM_EXIT_IO handler
|                       |
|        Open rcu reader's critical section
Migration cleanup bh    |
|                       |
synchronize_rcu() is    |
waiting for readers     |
|            prepare_mmio_access() is waiting for QGM
  \                   /
         deadlock

The patch changes bitmap freeing from direct g_free after synchronize_rcu
to free inside call_rcu.
