I think this will cause deadlocks.

pages_lock now nests within page lock, balloon_page_putback
nests them in the reverse order.
In balloon_page_dequeu, we used trylock so I don't think it's
deadlock.
I went over this again and I don't see the issue anymore.
I think I was mistaken, so I dropped my patch and picked
up yours. Sorry about the noise.
No problem. Thanks for the review.
