Subject: [PATCH v2 2/4] virtio_balloon: handle concurrent accesses to virtio_balloon struct elements

This patch introduces access sychronization to critical elements of struct
virtio_balloon, in order to allow the thread concurrency compaction/migration
bits might ended up imposing to the balloon driver on several situations.
