virtio-mem: use page_offline_(start|end) when setting PageOffline()
Let's properly use page_offline_(start|end) to synchronize setting PageOffline(), so we won't have valid page access to unplugged memory regions from /proc/kcore. Existing balloon implementations usually allow reading inflated memory; doing so might result in unnecessary overhead in the hypervisor, which is currently the case with virtio-mem. For future virtio-mem use cases, it will be different when using shmem, huge pages, !anonymous private mappings, ... as backing storage for a VM. virtio-mem unplugged memory must no longer be accessed and access might result in undefined behavior. There will be a virtio spec extension to document this change, including a new feature flag indicating the changed behavior. We really don't want to race against PFN walkers reading random page content.
