Not necessary to initialize it here.

You could update the comment to say "dev->poll_limit_ns" instead of
"cpu_halt_poll_us" while at it.

The "{" brace is still needed as per the coding style and I'm not sure why
to avoid guest_halt_poll_grow equal to zero here?

That's going to be corrected below, so the original code would be fine.

Here you can do

			val = dev->poll_limit_ns / shrink;

Note that guest_halt_poll_grow_start is in us (as per the comment next to its
definition and the initial value).  That is a bug in the original code too,
but anyway.
