Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Drivers: hv: balloon: reset host_specified_ha_region

We set host_specified_ha_region = true on certain request but this is a
global state which stays 'true' forever. We need to reset it when we
receive a request where ha_region is not specified. I did not see any
real issues, the bug was found by code inspection.
