[PATCH 1/1] balloon: stop inflate balloon after oom notification

[Denis V. Lunev]

From: Konstantin Neumoin <kneumoin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

At this moment oom notification in balloon does not work as expected.
After virtballoon_oom_notify there is an infinitive loop:
 - virtballoon_oom_notify was called and balloon was deflated
 - balloon get notification that config was changed, compare target and
   actual and try to reach target again.

This patch adds global variable fail_counter which indicates that oom has
been happened. We check that fail_counter was changed between calls
update_balloon_size_func. In this case we should not try to inflate balloon
even if actual != target.
