You can simply do
return page->mapping == balloon_mapping;

This means that if CONFIG_VIRTIO_BALLOON=y and CONFIG_COMPACTION=n,
is_balloon_page() will always return NULL. IOW, no pages are balloon
pages! This is wrong.
I'm not sure what to do about this, apart from renaming the function to
is_compactible_balloon_page() or something similarly aawkward.
