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.
