balloon: Separate out stat and balloon handling
Passing on '0' as ballooning target to indicate retrieval of stats is
bad API. It also makes 'balloon 0' in the monitor cause a segfault.
Have two different functions handle the different functionality instead.
Detailed explanation from Markus's review:
1. do_info_balloon() is an info_async() method. It receives a callback
with argument, to be called exactly once (callback frees the
argument). It passes the callback via qemu_balloon_status() and
indirectly through qemu_balloon_event to virtio_balloon_to_target().
virtio_balloon_to_target() executes its balloon stats half. It
stores the callback in the device state.
If it can't send a stats request, it resets stats and calls the
callback right away.
Else, it sends a stats request. The device model runs the callback
when it receives the answer.
Works.
2. do_balloon() is a cmd_async() method. It receives a callback with
argument, to be called when the command completes. do_balloon()
calls it right before it succeeds. Odd, but should work.
Nevertheless, it passes the callback on via qemu_ballon() and
indirectly through qemu_balloon_event to virtio_balloon_to_target().
a. If the argument is non-zero, virtio_balloon_to_target() executes
its balloon half, which doesn't use the callback in any way.
Odd, but works.
b. If the argument is zero, virtio_balloon_to_target() executes its
balloon stats half, just like in 1. It either calls the callback
right away, or arranges for it to be called later.
Thus, the callback runs twice: use after free and double free.
Test case: start with -S -device virtio-balloon, execute "balloon 0" in
human monitor. Runs the callback first from virtio_balloon_to_target(),
then again from do_balloon().
