virtio-balloon can make use of the amount of free memory to determine
the amount of memory to be filled in the balloon, but the amount of
free memory will be effected by the page cache, which can be reclaimed.
Drop the cache before getting the amount of free memory will be very
helpful to relect the exact amount of memroy that can be reclaimed.
This patch add a new feature to the balloon device to support this
operation, hypervisor can request the VM to drop it's cache, so as to
reclaim more memory.
