dump: Fix dump-guest-memory termination and use-after-close
dump_iterate() dumps blocks in a loop. Eventually, get_next_block() returns "no more". We then call dump_completed(). But we neglect to break the loop! Broken in commit 4c7e251a. Because of that, we dump the last block again. This attempts to write to s->fd, which fails if we're lucky. The error makes dump_iterate() return failure. It's the only way it can ever return. Theoretical: if we're not so lucky, something else has opened something for writing and got the same fd. dump_iterate() then keeps looping, messing up the something else's output, until a write fails, or the process mercifully terminates. The obvious fix is to restore the return lost in commit 4c7e251a. But the root cause of the bug is needlessly opaque loop control. Replace it by a clean do ... while loop. This makes the badly chosen return values of get_next_block() more visible. Cleaning that up is outside the scope of this bug fix.
