Subject: [PATCH v2] hv_balloon: Fix committed value in post_status() if dynamic memory is disabled

If Dynamic memory is disabled for VM, the committed value reported by the
post_status() call by hv_balloon driver includes compute_balloon_floor().
This is not needed if balloon_up operations or hot_add operations were
never requested on the VM(or if Dynamic memory was disabled for the VM)

Fixes: 1c7db96f6feac ("Prevent the host from ballooning the guest too low")
