Re: [libvirt] [PATCH v2] qemu: process: Improve update of maximum baloon state at startup

In commit 641a145d73fdc3dd9350fd57b3d3247abf101c05 I've added code that resets the ballon memory value to full size prior to resuming the vCPUs

since the size certainly was not reduced at that point. Since qemuProcess start is used also in code paths with already booted up guests (migration, save/restore) the assumption is not entirely true since the guest might already been running before. This patch adds a function that queries the monitor rather than using the full size since a balloon event would not be reissued in case we are recovering a saved migration state. Additionally the new function is used also when reconnecting to a VM after libvirtd restart since we might have missed a few ballon events
