Performance oriented customized Linux kernel based on the mainline kernel.

The compaction code already marks pages as offline when it enqueues
pages in the ballooned page list, and removes the mapping when the pages
are removed from the list. VMware balloon also updates the flags,
instead of letting the balloon-compaction logic handle it, which causes
the assertion VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!PageOffline(page)) to fire, when
__ClearPageOffline is called the second time. This causes the following
crash.

Fix it by updating the PageOffline indication only when a 2MB page is
enqueued and dequeued. The 4KB pages will be handled correctly by the
balloon compaction logic.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
