[PATCH v1 1/3] virtio-balloon: replace the coarse-grained balloon_lock

[Wei Wang <wei.w.wang@intel.com>]

The balloon_lock was used to synchronize the access demand to elements
of struct virtio_balloon and its queue operations (please see commit
e22504296d). This prevents the concurrent run of the leak_balloon and
fill_balloon functions, thereby resulting in a deadlock issue on OOM:

fill_balloon: take balloon_lock and wait for OOM to get some memory;
oom_notify: release some inflated memory via leak_balloon();
leak_balloon: wait for balloon_lock to be released by fill_balloon.

This patch breaks the lock into two fine-grained inflate_lock and
deflate_lock, and eliminates the unnecessary use of the shared data
(i.e. vb->pnfs, vb->num_pfns). This enables leak_balloon and
fill_balloon to run concurrently and solves the deadlock issue.
