File kvm-qemu-preXX-balloon-report-overflow.patch of Package kvm

This backported patch is loosely derrived from the following upstream patch:

Beginning with its introduction, the virtio balloon has had an overflow error
that causes 'info balloon' to misreport the actual memory size when the balloon
itself becomes larger than 4G.  Use a cast when converting dev->actual from
pages to kB to prevent overflows.

Before:
(qemu) info balloon
balloon: actual=5120
(qemu) balloon 1025
(qemu) info balloon
balloon: actual=1025
(qemu) balloon 1024
(qemu) info balloon
balloon: actual=5120

After:
(qemu) info balloon
balloon: actual=5120
(qemu) balloon 1025
(qemu) info balloon
balloon: actual=1025
(qemu) balloon 1024
(qemu) info balloon
balloon: actual=1024
