[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 3/6] virtio-balloon: don't restart stats timer in callback

[Roman Kagan <rkagan@virtuozzo.com>]

There's no need to restart the stats timer in its callback.  If the
callback happens to run when there's nothing to do just do nothing and
return.

The timer is armed either in receive handler or initially when
periodic stats collection is enabled via QMP.

While at this, observe that the presence of ->stats_vq_elem is enough to
indicate there's work to do here, and drop the check for the stats
feature.
