[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] balloon: fix segfault and harden the stats queue

[Ladi Prosek <lprosek@redhat.com>]

The segfault here is triggered by the driver notifying the stats queue
twice after adding a buffer to it. This effectively resets stats_vq_elem
back to NULL and QEMU crashes on the next stats timer tick in
balloon_stats_poll_cb.

This is a regression introduced in 51b19ebe4320f3dc, although admittedly
the device assumed too much about the stats queue protocol even before
that commit. This commit adds a few more checks and ensures that the one
stats buffer gets deallocated on device reset.
