If virDomainMemoryStats is called too soon after domain startup, QEMU returns: "error":{"class":"GenericError","desc":"guest hasn't updated any stats yet"} when we try to query balloon stats. Check for this reply and log it as OPERATION_INVALID instead of INTERNAL_ERROR. This means the daemon only logs it at the debug level, without polluting system logs.
