Preallocation in memory backends can be specified with either global QEMU option "-mem-prealloc", or with per-backend property "prealloc=true". In the latter case, however, the default for the number of preallocation threads is not set to the number of vcpus, but remains at 1 instead.
Fix it by setting the "prealloc-threads" sugar property of "memory-backend" to the number of vcpus unconditionally.
