virtio-balloon: Disable free page reporting if page poison reporting is not enabled
We should disable free page reporting if page poisoning is enabled but we cannot report it via the balloon interface. This way we can avoid the possibility of corrupting guest memory. Normally the page poisoning feature should always be present when free page reporting is enabled on the hypervisor, however this allows us to correctly handle a case of the virtio-balloon device being possibly misconfigured.
