A VM supports only one balloon device, but due to several changes
in infrastructure the error message got messed up when trying
to add a second device. Fix it.

Before this fix

Command-line:

qemu-qmp: -device virtio-balloon-pci,id=balloon0: Another balloon device already registered
qemu-qmp: -device virtio-balloon-pci,id=balloon0: Adding balloon handler failed
qemu-qmp: -device virtio-balloon-pci,id=balloon0: Device 'virtio-balloon-pci' could not be initialized

HMP:

Another balloon device already registered
Adding balloon handler failed
Device 'virtio-balloon-pci' could not be initialized

QMP:

{ "execute": "device_add", "arguments": { "driver": "virtio-balloon-pci", "id": "balloon0" } }
{
	"error": {
		"class": "GenericError",
		"desc": "Adding balloon handler failed"
	}
}

After this fix

Command-line:

qemu-qmp: -device virtio-balloon-pci,id=balloon0: Only one balloon device is supported
qemu-qmp: -device virtio-balloon-pci,id=balloon0: Device 'virtio-balloon-pci' could not be initialized

HMP:

(qemu) device_add virtio-balloon-pci,id=balloon0
Only one balloon device is supported
Device 'virtio-balloon-pci' could not be initialized
(qemu)

QMP:

{ "execute": "device_add",
          "arguments": { "driver": "virtio-balloon-pci", "id": "balloon0" } }
{
    "error": {
        "class": "GenericError",
        "desc": "Only one balloon device is supported"
    }
}

I think this can go through in via -trivial. I also think this
is so simple and useful that it could be merged during freeze.

Heh.  Such a huge commit message ;)

Applied to -trivial now.  In the large commit text I missed your
comment about the patch is okay to go during the freeze, so doing
it after :)

Thanks,

I've applied it to my own tree and posted a pull request already.
