vmw_balloon: fix inflation with batching

Embarrassingly, the recent fix introduced worse problem than it solved,
causing the balloon not to inflate. The VM informed the hypervisor that
the pages for lock/unlock are sitting in the wrong address, as it used
the page that is used the uninitialized page variable.
