[RFC 1/2] virtio_balloon: move balloon_lock mutex to callers

From: Luiz Capitulino
Date: Thu May 09 2013 - 10:55:04 EST


This commit moves the balloon_lock mutex out of the fill_balloon()
and leak_balloon() functions to their callers.

The reason for this change is that the next commit will introduce
a shrinker callback for the balloon driver, which will also call
leak_balloon() but will require different locking semantics.
