Subject: [PATCH 4.2.y-ckt 112/268] virtio_balloon: fix race between migration and ballooning

4.2.8-ckt3 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

From: Minchan Kim <minchan@...nel.org>

commit 21ea9fb69e7c4b1b1559c3e410943d3ff248ffcb upstream.

In balloon_page_dequeue, pages_lock should cover the loop
(ie, list_for_each_entry_safe). Otherwise, the cursor page could
be isolated by compaction and then list_del by isolation could
poison the page->lru.{prev,next} so the loop finally could
access wrong address like this. This patch fixes the bug.
