commit 89da619bc18d79bca5304724c11d4ba3b67ce2c6 upstream.

Kernel panic when with high memory pressure, calltrace looks like,

It happens in the pagefault and results in double pagefault
during compacting pages when memory allocation fails.

Analysed the vmcore, the page leads to second pagefault is corrupted
with _mapcount=-256, but private=0.

It's caused by the race between migration and ballooning, and lock
missing in virtballoon_migratepage() of virtio_balloon driver.
This patch fix the bug.
