    x86/pv-shim: correct ballooning down for compat guests
    
    The compat layer for multi-extent memory ops may need to split incoming
    requests. Since the guest handles in the interface structures may not be
    altered, it does so by leveraging do_memory_op()'s continuation
    handling: It hands on non-initial requests with a non-zero start extent,
    with the (native) handle suitably adjusted down. As a result
    do_memory_op() sees only the first of potentially several requests with
    start extent being zero. In order to be usable as overall result, the
    function accumulates args.nr_done, i.e. it initialized the field with
    the start extent. Therefore non-initial requests resulting from the
    split would pass too large a number into pv_shim_offline_memory().
    
    Address that breakage by always calling pv_shim_offline_memory()
    regardless of current hypercall preemption status, with a suitably
    adjusted first argument. Note that this is correct also for the native
    guest case: We now simply "commit" what was completed right away, rather
    than at the end of a series of preemption/re-start cycles. In fact this
    improves overall preemption behavior: There's no longer a potentially
    big chunk of work done non-preemptively at the end of the last
    "iteration".
