vmw_balloon: fix inflation with batching

Browse Source 
Embarrassingly, the recent fix introduced worse problem than it solved,
causing the balloon not to inflate. The VM informed the hypervisor that
the pages for lock/unlock are sitting in the wrong address, as it used
the page that is used the uninitialized page variable.
