[PATCH 3/7] Drivers: hv: hv_balloon: refuse to balloon below the floor

[K. Y. Srinivasan]

From: Vitaly Kuznetsov <vkuznets@xxxxxxxxxx>

When host asks us to balloon up we need to be sure we're not committing suicide
by overballooning. Use already existent 'floor' metric as our lowest possible
value for free ram.
