xen: fix booting ballooned down hvm guest

Browse source 
Commit 96edd61dcf ("xen/balloon: don't
online new memory initially") introduced a regression when booting a
HVM domain with memory less than mem-max: instead of ballooning down
immediately the system would try to use the memory up to mem-max
resulting in Xen crashing the domain.

For HVM domains the current size will be reflected in Xenstore node
memory/static-max instead of memory/target.

Additionally we have to trigger the ballooning process at once.
