There are two spellings in use for 'freeze' + 'able' - 'freezable' and
'freezeable'. The former is the more prominent one. The latter is
mostly used by workqueue and in a few other odd places. Unify the
spelling to 'freezable'.

When hypervisor decides to decrease target balloon size while the balloon
driver tries to lock pages hypervisor may respond with
VMW_BALLOON_PPN_NOTNEEDED. Use this data and immediately stop reserving
pages and wait for the next update cycle to fetch new target instead of
continuing trying to lock pages until size of refused list grows above
VMW_BALLOON_MAX_REFUSED (16) pages.
As a result the driver stops bothering the hypervisor with its attempts to
lock more pages that are not needed anymore. Most likely next order from
hypervisor will be to reduce ballon size anyway.
It is a small optimization.

In an effort to minimize customer confusion we want to unify naming
convention for VMware-provided kernel modules. This change renames the
balloon driver from vmware_ballon to vmw_balloon.
We expect to follow this naming convention (vmw_<module_name>) for all
modules that are part of mainline kernel and/or being distributed by
VMware, with the sole exception of vmxnet3 driver (since the name of
mainline driver happens to match with the name used in VMware Tools).
