Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] virtio_balloon: Give the balloon its own wakeup source

From: David Stevens <stevensd@...omium.org>

Wakeup sources don't support nesting multiple events, so sharing a
single object between multiple drivers can result in one driver
overriding the wakeup event processing period specified by another
driver. Have the virtio balloon driver use the wakeup source of the
device it is bound to rather than the wakeup source of the parent
device, to avoid conflicts with the transport layer.

Note that although the virtio balloon's virtio_device itself isn't what
actually wakes up the device, it is responsible for processing wakeup
events. In the same way that EPOLLWAKEUP uses a dedicated wakeup_source
to prevent suspend when userspace is processing wakeup events, a
dedicated wakeup_source is necessary when processing wakeup events in a
higher layer in the kernel.
