Subject: [PATCH 09/19] vmw_balloon: simplify vmballoon_send_get_target()

Precedence: bulk

As we want to leave as little as possible on the global balloon
structure, to avoid possible future races, we want to get rid sysinfo.
We can actually get the total_ram directly, and simplify the logic of
vmballoon_send_get_target() a little.

While we are doing that, let's return int and avoid mistakes due to
bool/int conversions.
