commit 90d72ce079791399ac255c75728f3c9e747b093d upstream.
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.
