virtio-mem: retry fake-offlining via alloc_contig_range() on ZONE_MOVABLE

Browse Source 
ZONE_MOVABLE is supposed to give some guarantees, yet,
alloc_contig_range() isn't prepared to properly deal with some racy
cases properly (e.g., temporary page pinning when exiting processed, PCP).

Retry 5 times for now. There is certainly room for improvement in the
future.
