[PATCH resend v6 30/30] mm: balloon: use put_page_zeroed for zeroed balloon pages

[Michael S. Tsirkin]

When a balloon page marked PageZeroed is freed during migration,
use put_page_zeroed() to propagate the zeroed hint to the buddy
allocator. Previously the hint was silently lost via plain put_page().
