My fix (
84e7b80a) replaced the last_sent_block update that I'd
removed earlier; however it was too aggressive in the xbzrle case.
save_xbzrle_page might return '0' to mean that the page didn't
need sending since it was the same as the last sent version;
in this case we can't update 'last_sent_block' since we didn't
actually send it.
Symptom: 'Illegal RAM offset
1018000' as we try and send a page
to the wrong RAMBlock; potentially that could be a data
corruption if you were really unlucky.
