xen: actually release memory when shrinking domain
Fix this: > It appears that in the upstream balloon driver, > the call to HYPERVISOR_update_va_mapping is missing > from decrease_reservation. I think as a result, > the balloon driver is eating memory but not > releasing it to Xen, thus rendering the balloon > driver essentially useless. (Can be observed via xentop.)
