[PATCH 1/2] virtio_balloon: fix pages_to_free calculation

From: Khazhismel Kumykov
Date: Mon Nov 18 2019 - 16:38:57 EST


freed_pages was accumulating total freed pages, but was also subtracted
on each iteration from pages_to_free, which could potentially result in
attempting to free fewer pages than asked for. This change also makes
both freed_pages and pages_to_free in terms of "balloon pages", where
they were mismatched before.
