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.

I'm not really familiar with ballooning and memory hotplug, but is it the
only place that needs page_offline_{begin,end} ?

Should have been a part of the previous patch.

Existing balloon implementations that I am aware of (Hyper-V, XEN, 
virtio-balloon, vmware-balloon) usually allow reading inflated memory; 
doing so might result in unnecessary overhead in the hypervisor, so we 
really want to avoid it -- but it's strictly not forbidden and has been 
working forever. So we barely care about races: if there would be a rare 
race, we'd still be able to read that memory.

For virtio-mem, it'll be different in the future when using shmem, huge 
pages, !anonymous private mappings, ... as backing storage for a VM; 
there will be a virtio spec extension to document that virtio-mem 
changes that indicate the new behavior won't allow reading unplugged 
memory and doing so will result in undefined behavior.

the patch looks good to me as such

Acked-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com>

Feel free to merge with rest of patcgset - it seems to mostly
live in the fs/mm space.

IF you respin, maybe add the explanation you sent in response to Mike's comments
in the commit log.
