virtio_balloon: Allow to resize and update the balloon stats in parallel
The virtio balloon statistics are not updated when the balloon
is being resized. But it seems that both tasks could be done
in parallel.
stats_handle_request() updates the statistics in the balloon
structure and then communicates with the host.
update_balloon_stats() calls all_vm_events() that just reads
some per-CPU variables. The values might change during and
after the call but it is expected and happens even without
this patch.
update_balloon_stats() also calls si_meminfo(). It is a bit
more complex function. It too just reads some variables and
looks lock-less safe. In each case, it seems to be called
lock-less on several similar locations, e.g. from post_status()
in dm_thread_func(), or from vmballoon_send_get_target().
The communication with the host is done via a separate virtqueue,
see vb->stats_vq vs. vb->inflate_vq and vb->deflate_vq. Therefore
it could be used in parallel with fill_balloon() and leak_balloon().
This patch splits the existing work into two pieces. One is for
updating the balloon stats. The other is for resizing of the balloon.
It seems that they can be proceed in parallel without any
extra locking.
