Subject: Drivers: hv: balloon: Initialize last_post_time on startup
Git-commit: c548f3957efa57b6f1a1f4c90013232f6f488682
References: fate#323887
When left uninitialized, this sometimes fails the following check in
post_status():
if (!time_after(now, (last_post_time + HZ))) {
return;
}
This causes unnecessary delays in reporting memory pressure to host after
booting up.
