[RFC 2/2] Drivers: hv: balloon: Disable balloon and hot-add accordingly

[Boqun Feng]

Currently there are known potential issues for balloon and hot-add on
ARM64:

*	Unballoon requests from Hyper-V should only unballoon ranges
	that are guest page size aligned, otherwise guests cannot handle
	because it's impossible to partially free a page.

*	Memory hot-add requests from Hyper-V should provide the NUMA
	node id of the added ranges or ARM64 should have a functional
	memory_add_physaddr_to_nid(), otherwise the node id is missing
	for add_memory().

These issues require discussions on design and implementation. In the
meanwhile, post_status() is working and essiential to guest monitoring.
Therefore instead of the entire hv_balloon driver, the balloon and
hot-add are disabled accordingly for now. Once the issues are fixed,
they can be re-enable in these cases.
