[virtio-dev] [PATCH v2] virtio-balloon: always indicate S_DONE when migration fails

[David Hildenbrand <david@redhat.com>]

If something goes wrong during precopy, before stopping the VM, we will
never send a S_DONE indication to the VM, resulting in the hinted pages
not getting released to be used by the guest OS (e.g., Linux).

Easy to reproduce:
1. Start migration (e.g., HMP "migrate -d 'exec:gzip -c > STATEFILE.gz'")
2. Cancel migration (e.g., HMP "migrate_cancel")
3. Oberve in the guest (e.g., cat /proc/meminfo) that there is basically
   no free memory left.

While at it, add similar locking to virtio_balloon_free_page_done() as
done in virtio_balloon_free_page_stop. Locking is still weird, but that
has to be sorted out separately.

There is nothing to do in the PRECOPY_NOTIFY_COMPLETE case. Add some
comments regarding S_DONE handling.
