Ballooning in protected VMs can only be done when the guest shares the
pages it gives to the host. If pages are not shared, the integrity
checks will fail once those pages have been altered and are given back
to the guest.

Hence, until we have a solution for this in the guest kernel, we
inhibit ballooning when switching into protected mode and reverse that
once we move out of it.
