Halil Pasic 07d4e69147 migration/vmstate: fix array of ptr with nullptrs
Make VMS_ARRAY_OF_POINTER cope with null pointers. Previously the
reward for trying to migrate an array with some null pointers in it was
an illegal memory access, that is a swift and painless death of the
process.  Let's make vmstate cope with this scenario.

The general approach is, when we encounter a null pointer (element),
instead of following the pointer to save/load the data behind it, we
save/load a placeholder. This way we can detect if we expected a null
pointer at the load side but not null data was saved instead.
