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.)
