Subject: Drivers: hv: balloon: Do not post pressure status if interrupted
From: "K. Y. Srinivasan" <kys@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit c5e2254f8d63a6654149aa32ac5f2b7dd66a976d upstream.
When we are posting pressure status, we may get interrupted and handle
the un-balloon operation. In this case just don't post the status as we
know the pressure status is stale.
