virtio-balloon: do not call blocking ops when !TASK_RUNNING

Browse Source 
virtio balloon has this code:
        wait_event_interruptible(vb->config_change,
                                 (diff = towards_target(vb)) != 0
                                 || vb->need_stats_update
                                 || kthread_should_stop()
                                 || freezing(current));

Which is a problem because towards_target() call might block after
wait_event_interruptible sets task state to TAST_INTERRUPTIBLE, causing
the task_struct::state collision typical of nesting of sleeping
primitives

See also http://lwn.net/Articles/628628/ or Thomas's
bug report
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.virtualization/24846
for a fuller explanation.

To fix, rewrite using wait_woken.
