4.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

commit 09755690c6b7c1eabdc4651eb3b276f8feb1e447 upstream.
When balloon batching is not supported by the hypervisor, the guest frame number (GFN) must fit in 32-bit. However, due to a bug, this check was mistakenly ignored. In practice, when total RAM is greater than 16TB, the balloon does not work currently, making this bug unlikely to happen.
