Subject: [PATCH] xen/balloon: fix cancelled balloon action
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

In case a ballooning action is cancelled the new kernel thread handling
the ballooning might end up in a busy loop.

Fix that by handling the cancelled action gracefully.

While at it introduce a short wait for the BP_WAIT case.
