Fixes: 418a3ab1e778 (mm/balloon_compaction: List interfaces)
A #GP is reported in the guest when requesting balloon inflation via
virtio-balloon. The reason is that the virtio-balloon driver has
removed the page from its internal page list (via balloon_page_pop),
but balloon_page_enqueue_one also calls "list_del" to do the removal.
This is necessary when it's used from balloon_page_enqueue_list, but
not from balloon_page_enqueue_one.
So remove the list_del balloon_page_enqueue_one, and update some
comments as a reminder.
