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.
