We always have to initialize the balloon_dev_info, even when compaction
is not configured in: otherwise the containing list and the lock are
left uninitialized.

Likely not many such configs exist in practice, but let's CC stable to
be sure.

This was found by code inspection.

Agreed cmm uses balloon_dev_info infrastructure beyond just
CONFIG_BALLOON_COMPACTION, so it should be initialized by default.

The patch looks good to me. Please feel free to add:
