[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v4] virtio-balloon: free pbp more aggressively

["Michael S. Tsirkin" <mst@redhat.com>]

Previous patches switched to a temporary pbp but that does not go far
enough: after device uses a buffer, guest is free to reuse it, so
tracking the page and freeing it later is wrong.

Free and reset the pbp after we push each element.

Fixes: ed48c59875b6 ("virtio-balloon: Safely handle BALLOON_PAGE_SIZE < host page size")

changes from v2, v3:
    v3 was same as v2, sent by mistake
    v4 fixes a typo
