Currently, if VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_FREE_PAGE_HINT is off but
VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_REPORTING is on, then the reporting vq
gets number 3 while spec says it's number 4.
It happens to work because the qemu virtio pci driver
is *also* out of spec.

To fix:
1. add vq4 as per spec
2. to help out the buggy qemu driver, if finding vqs fail,
try with vq3 as reporting.

Fixes: b0c504f15471 ("virtio-balloon: add support for providing free page reports to host")

Changes from v1:
	rebased on vhost tip
