[PATCH] xen/x86: fix initial memory balloon target



When adding extra memory regions as ballooned pages also adjust the balloon
target, otherwise when the balloon driver is started it will populate
memory to match the target value and consume all the extra memory regions
added.

This made the usage of the Xen `dom0_mem=,max:` command line parameter for
dom0 not work as expected, as the target won't be adjusted and when the
balloon is started it will populate memory straight to the 'max:' value.
It would equally affect domUs that have memory != maxmem.

Kernels built with CONFIG_XEN_UNPOPULATED_ALLOC are not affected, because
the extra memory regions are consumed by the unpopulated allocation driver,
and then balloon_add_regions() becomes a no-op.
