virtio: Fix GFP flags passed from the virtio balloon driver
The virtio balloon driver can dig into the reservation pools of the OS to satisfy a balloon request. This is not advisable and other balloon drivers (drivers/xen/balloon.c) avoid this as well. The patch also adds changes to avoid printing a warning if allocation fails, since we retry after sometime anyway.
