    memory: don't implicitly unpin for decrease-reservation
    
    It very likely was a mistake (copy-and-paste from domain cleanup code)
    to implicitly unpin here: The caller should really unpin itself before
    (or after, if they so wish) requesting the page to be removed.
    
    This is XSA-252.
