Actually balloon selects VIRTIO, I think it's a bug.
Also isn't it time we dropped the experimental tag?
Leaving it in for now.

virtio-balloon: dependency fix

Devices should depend on virtio, not select it.  It's supposed to be
selected by the particular driver, e.g. VIRTIO_PCI.
Make balloon depend on VIRTIO and EXPERIMENTAL
(to match description).
