[PATCH v2 0/2] virtio-balloon: don't start free page hinting if postcopy is possible

[David Hildenbrand]

This is the follow up on [1]:
  [PATCH v1 0/2] virtio-balloon: disallow postcopy with
  VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_FREE_PAGE_HINT

Working on getting migration for virtio-mem completely right [2] I realized
that virtio-balloon with VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_FREE_PAGE_HINT paired with
postcopy might be shaky. Actually testing it, I directly found two issues,
one of both being far from trivial to fix.

Let's not start free page hinting if postcopy is possible.

v1 -> v2:
- "virtio-balloon: don't start free page hinting if postcopy is possible"
-- Instead of bailing out when starting postcopy, don't start free page
   hinting if the postcopy capability is enabled and we might see the
   switch to postcopy for the current migration (where we might mess with
   the dirty bitmap)
- "virtio-balloon: free page hinting cleanups"
