virtio_balloon: set DRIVER_OK before using device
commit 88660f7f upstream. virtio spec requires that all drivers set DRIVER_OK before using devices. While balloon isn't yet included in the virtio 1 spec, previous spec versions also required this. virtio balloon might violate this rule: probe calls kthread_run before setting DRIVER_OK, which might run immediately and cause balloon to inflate/deflate. To fix, call virtio_device_ready before running the kthread. Signed-off-by: Michael S.
