We still have multiple issues in the current code
- The PBP is not freed during unrealize()
- The PBP is not reset on device resets: After a reset, the PBP is stale.
- We are not indicating VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_MUST_TELL_HOST, therefore
guests (esp. legacy guests) will reuse pages without deflating,
turning the PBP stale. Adding that would require compat handling.
Instead, let's use the PBP only temporarily, when processing one bulk of
inflation requests. This will keep guest_page_size > 4k working (with
Linux guests). There is nothing to do for deflation requests anymore.
The pbp is only used for a limited amount of time.
