Subject: [PATCH v3 1/1] Create debugfs file with virtio balloon usage information

Allow the guest to know how much it is ballooned by the host.
It is useful when debugging out of memory conditions.

When host gets back memory from the guest it is accounted
as used memory in the guest but the guest have no way to know
how much it is actually ballooned.
