vmw_balloon: simplify vmballoon_send_get_target()
As we want to leave as little as possible on the global balloon structure, to avoid possible future races, we want to get rid sysinfo. We can actually get the total_ram directly, and simplify the logic of vmballoon_send_get_target() a little. While we are doing that, let's return int and avoid mistakes due to bool/int conversions.
