migration: do not rom_reset() during incoming migration
Commit 18269069c310 ("migration: Introduce ignore-shared capability")
addes ignore-shared capability to bypass the shared ramblock (e,g,
membackend + numa node). It does good to live migration.
As told by Yury,this commit expectes that QEMU doesn't write to guest RAM
until VM starts, but it does on aarch64 qemu:

Actually, on arm64 virt marchine, ramblock "dtb" will be filled into ram
druing rom_reset. In ignore-shared incoming case, this rom filling
is not required since all the data has been stored in memory backend
file.
Further more, as suggested by Peter Xu, if we do rom_reset() now with
these ROMs then the RAM data should be re-filled again too with the
migration stream coming in.
