virtio-balloon: Provide an interface for free page reporting
Add support for free page reporting. The idea is to function very similar to how the balloon works in that we basically end up madvising the page as not being used. However we don't really need to bother with any deflate type logic since the page will be faulted back into the guest when it is read or written to. This provides a new way of letting the guest proactively report free pages to the hypervisor, so the hypervisor can reuse them. In contrast to inflate/deflate that is triggered via the hypervisor explicitly.
