hv_balloon: fix bugs in num_pages_onlined accounting



Our num_pages_onlined accounting is buggy:
1) In case we're offlining a memory block which was present at boot (e.g.
   when there was no hotplug at all) we subtract 32k from 0 and as
   num_pages_onlined is unsigned get a very big positive number.

2) Commit 6df8d9aa ("Drivers: hv: balloon: Correctly update onlined
   page count") made num_pages_onlined counter accurate on onlining but
   totally incorrect on offlining for partly populated regions: no matter
   how many pages were onlined and what was actually added to
   num_pages_onlined counter we always subtract the full region (32k) so
   again, num_pages_onlined can wrap around zero. By onlining/offlining
   the same partly populated region multiple times we can make the
   situation worse.

Solve these issues by doing accurate accounting on offlining: walk HAS
list, check for covered range and gaps.

Fixes: 6df8d9aa ("Drivers: hv: balloon: Correctly update onlined page count")
