memory: Introduce log_sync_global() to memory listener

Some of the memory listener may want to do log synchronization without
being able to specify a range of memory to sync but always globally.
Such a memory listener should provide this new method instead of the
log_sync() method.

Obviously we can also achieve similar thing when we put the global
sync logic into a log_sync() handler. However that's not efficient
enough because otherwise memory_global_dirty_log_sync() may do the
global sync N times, where N is the number of flat ranges in the
address space.

Make this new method be exclusive to log_sync().
