xen,pod: Try to reclaim superpages when ballooning down

Windows balloon drivers can typically only get 4k pages from the kernel,
and so hand them back at that level.  Try to regain superpages by checking
the superpage frame that the 4k page is in to see if we can reclaim the whole
thing for the PoD cache.

This also modifies p2m_pod_zero_check_superpage() to return SUPERPAGE_PAGES on
success.

v2:
 - Rewritten to simply to the check as in demand-fault case, without needing
   to know that the p2m entry is a superpage.
 - Also, took out the re-writing of the reclaim loop, leaving it optimized for
   4k pages (by far the most common case), and simplifying the patch.
v3:
 - Add SoB
