Onion teardown should be used according to kernel coding style, there's
really no excuse not to.

Just add to the ggtt->base.reserved in increments, and remove in
increments during teardown or in the deballoon function. ggtt.reserved
is not exclusively for GVT-g to use, so you can't simply zero it. There
needs to be incremental additions and substractions as objects are
added and removed for the variable to stay general.
