In order to remove the dependency on the page lock for balloon pages, we need a lock that is independent of the page.
It's crucial that we can handle the scenario where balloon deflation (clearing page->private) can race with page isolation (using page->private to obtain the balloon_dev_info where the lock currently resides). The current lock in balloon_dev_info is therefore not suitable. Fortunately, we never really have more than a single balloon device per VM, so we can just keep it simple and use a static lock to protect all balloon devices. Based on this change we will remove the dependency on the page lock next.
