hv_balloon: Update the balloon driver to use the SBRM API
This patch is intended as a proof-of-concept for the new SBRM machinery[1]. For some brief background, the idea behind SBRM is using the __cleanup__ attribute to automatically unlock locks (or otherwise release resources) when they go out of scope, similar to C++ style RAII. This promises some benefits such as making code simpler (particularly where you have lots of goto fail; type constructs) as well as reducing the surface area for certain kinds of bugs. The changes in this patch should not result in any difference in how the code actually runs (i.e., it's purely an exercise in this new syntax sugar). In one instance SBRM was not appropriate, so I left that part alone, but all other locking/unlocking is handled automatically in this patch.
