bce85fe345 seccomp: move 9s policy aarch64 -> arm
Seccomp policy for ARM hosts was recently moved from aarch64 to arm to
accurately match the ABI used on the host. Move 9s policy to match this.

BUG=none
TEST=vm.Webserver on kevin succeeds

448516e3f9 balloon: Implement device policy
Implement a policy for the balloon device so that it starts taking
memory away from the VM when the system is under low memory conditions.
There are a few pieces here:

* Change the madvise call in MemoryMapping::dont_need_range to use
  MADV_REMOVE instead of MADV_DONTNEED.  The latter does nothing when
  the memory mapping is shared across multiple processes while the
  former immediately gives the pages in the specified range back to the
  kernel.  Subsequent accesses to memory in that range returns zero
  pages.
* Change the protocol between the balloon device process and the main
  crosvm process.  Previously, the device process expected the main
  process to send it increments in the amount of memory consumed by the
  balloon device.  Now, it instead just expects the absolute value of
  the memory that should be consumed.  To properly implement the policy
  the main process needs to keep track of the total memory consumed by
  the balloon device so this makes it easier to handle all the policy in
  one place.
* Add a policy for dealing with low memory situations.  When the VM
  starts up, we determine the maximum amount of memory that the balloon
  device should consume:

    * If the VM has more than 1.5GB of memory, the balloon device max is
      the size of the VM memory minus 1GB.
    * Otherwise, if the VM has at least 500MB, the balloon device max is
      50% of the size of the VM memory.
    * Otherwise, the max is 0.

  The increment used to change the size of the balloon is defined as
  1/16 of the max memory that the balloon device will consume.  When the
  crosvm main process detects that the system is low on memory, it
  immediately increases the balloon size by the increment (unless it has
  already reached the max).  It then starts 2 timers: one to check for
  low memory conditions again in 1 seconds (+ jitter) and another to
  check if the system is no longer low on memory in 1 minute (+ jitter)
  with a subsequent interval of 30 seconds (+ jitter).

  Under persistent low memory conditions the balloon device will consume
  the maximum memory after 16 seconds.  Once there is enough available
  memory the balloon size will shrink back down to 0 after at most 9
  minutes.

BUG=chromium:866193
TEST=manual
Start 2 VMs and write out a large file (size > system RAM) in each.
Observe /sys/kernel/mm/chromeos-low_mem/available and see that the
available memory steadily decreases until it goes under the low memory
margin at which point the available memory bounces back up as crosvm
frees up pages.

b847858e66 seccomp: rename aarch64 -> arm
These policies are not for aarch64 but use the 32-bit system calls.
We call it aarch64 support because that's what we're targetting for
the guest kernel, but it doesn't really make any sense to call the
seccomp policies aarch64 when we're building a 32-bit binary.
We can add real aarch64 seccomp policies when we start building a
aarch64 crosvm binary.
