vmw_balloon: stop using the balloon_dev_info lock

Let's not piggy-back on the existing lock and use a separate lock for the
huge page list.  Now that we use a separate lock, there is no need to
disable interrupts, so use the non-irqsave variants.  We only required the
irqsave variants because of the balloon device lock.

This is a preparation for changing the locking used to protect
balloon_dev_info.

While at it, talk about "page migration" instead of "page compaction". 
We'll change that in core code soon as well.
