Peter Mladek reported that balloon might never refill completely after
restore.  This is because fill_balloon is only called once there.
Calling fill_balloon repeatedly seems too aggressive,
especially in light of the fact that it sleeps on failure: let's
wake the config change handler and fill it asynchronously.

I was unable to test this - for some reason my test VM
doesn't resume (with or without the patch).
Petr, does this work for you?
