[PATCH] virtio: Return correct errno for function init_vq's failure
The error number -ENOENT or 0 will be returned, if we can not allocate
more memory in function init_vq. If host can support multiple virtual
queues, and we fails to allocate necessary memory structures for vq,
kernel may crash due to incorrect returning.
To fix it, kernel will return correct value in init_vq.

[PATCH] virtio_balloon: don't call virtio_has_feature() twice on init_vqs()
Cchange init_vqs() to avoid calling twice the virtio_has_feature()
- attempting to find out if VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_STATS_VQ feature was negotiated -
consequently we prevent unnecessarily running the drivers' feature_table more
than needed.

[PATCH] virtio_balloon: don't push uninitialized buffers to stats virtqueue
When init_vqs runs, virtio_balloon.stats is either uninitialized or
contains stale values. The host updates its state with garbage data
because it has no way of knowing that this is just a marker buffer
used for signaling.

[PATCH v2] virtio_blk: Fix a slient kernel panic
We do a lot of memory allocation in function init_vq, and don't handle
the allocation failure properly. Then this function will return 0,
although initialization fails due to lacking memory. At that moment,
kernel will panic in guest machine, if virtio is used to drive disk.
To fix this bug, we should take care of allocation failure, and return
correct value to let caller know what happen.
