Hi,

I found an issue (crash) while testing memory hotplug on WS2016TP4 host.
It should be easily reproducible with the following test sequence
 (4.6-rc2):

1) Start a VM with 4 vCPUs in 4 NUMA nodes, 4096Mb of RAM.
2) Enable memory auto onlining with 
   'echo online > /sys/devices/system/memory/auto_online_blocks'
3) Wait till hv_balloon driver finishes negotiation.
4) Increase memory to 8192Mb.
5) Increase memory to 10000Mb.

The first patch in the series fixes the issue. While writing it I stumbled
upon an unrelated issue which I fix with PATCH 2.

Please review.

  Drivers: hv: balloon: don't crash when memory is added in non-sorted
    order
  Drivers: hv: balloon: reset host_specified_ha_region
