[PATCH 3/4] Drivers: hv: balloon: get rid on ol_waitevent

From: Vitaly Kuznetsov
Date: Fri Aug 05 2016 - 06:49:44 EST


With the recently introduced in-kernel memory onlining
(MEMORY_HOTPLUG_DEFAULT_ONLINE) these it no point in waiting for pages
to come online in the driver and in case the feature is disabled the 5
second wait won't help. Get rid of the waiting.
