After playing around with virsh setmaxmem for a bit,
I ran into some surprising behavior; if a hypervisor does
not support the virDomainSetMaxMemory() API, but the value
specified for setmaxmem is less than the current amount
of memory in the domain, the domain would be ballooned
down *before* an error was reported.
To make this more consistent, run virDomainSetMaxMemory()
before trying to shrink; that way, if an error is thrown,
no changes to the running domain are made.
