VMware hypervisor in certain cases may release all locked pages and
signal "reset" condition to the guest. In this case guest is expected
to free all pages allocated by its balloon but should not notify host
that pages have been released.

Note that hypervisors that require guest to tell about pages being
released should implement 'reset' by simply setting target ballon
size to 0.
