Subject[PATCH RFC] virtio-balloon: fix add/get API use
In virtio balloon virtqueue_get_buf might now run concurrently with
virtqueue_kick. I audited both and this seems safe in practice but
this is not guaranteed by the API.
Additionally, a spurious interrupt might in theory make
virtqueue_get_buf run in parallel with virtqueue_add_buf, which is racy.

While we might try to protect against spurious callbacks it's
easier to fix the driver: balloon seems to be the only one
(mis)using the API like this, so let's just fix balloon.
