Subject: [PATCH 03/27] Xen: Rename the balloon lock

From: Alex Nixon <alex.nixon@...rix.com>

* xen_create_contiguous_region needs access to the balloon lock to
  ensure memory doesn't change under its feet, so expose the balloon
  lock
* Change the name of the lock to xen_reservation_lock, to imply it's
  now less-specific usage.
