Subject: [PATCH 0/2] Add calls to mutex_destroy in virtio_balloon and virtio_mem

In [1] it is pointed out that each mutex_init call should have a
corresponding call to mutex_destroy; otherwise, it is considered a bug.

This patch adds the calls to mutex_destroy in virtio_balloon as well
as virtio_mem.

  virtio-balloon: Destroy mutex before freeing virtio_balloon
  virtio-mem: Destroy mutex before freeing virtio_mem
