zlib_send_prepare() compresses pages of a running VM. zlib does not
make any thread-safety guarantees with respect to changing deflate()
input concurrently with deflate() [1].

One can observe problems due to this with the IBM zEnterprise Data
Compression accelerator capable zlib [2]. When the hardware
acceleration is enabled, migration/multifd/tcp/plain/zlib test fails
intermittently [3] due to sliding window corruption. The accelerator's
architecture explicitly discourages concurrent accesses [4]:

    Page 26-57, "Other Conditions":

    As observed by this CPU, other CPUs, and channel
    programs, references to the parameter block, first,
    second, and third operands may be multiple-access
    references, accesses to these storage locations are
    not necessarily block-concurrent, and the sequence
    of these accesses or references is undefined.

Mark Adler pointed out that vanilla zlib performs double fetches under
certain circumstances as well [5], therefore we need to copy data
before passing it to deflate().
