Ah, I have just realized that the problem happens only after the conversion to the workqueue. It works without this patch with the current code. The balloon kthread is waken when released from __refrigerator(). I am sorry for the noise. I wanted to split the conversion to workqueues into two patches to make it better readable. We need to queue the balloon resizing work here. I wrongly assumed that the original kthread must have the same problem.
