virtio_balloon: introduce oom-kill invocations

When the guest OS runs under critical memory pressure, the guest
starts to kill processes. A guest monitor agent may scan 'oom_kill'
from /proc/vmstat, and reports the OOM KILL event. However, the agent
may be killed and we will loss this critical event(and the later
events).

For now we can also grep for magic words in guest kernel log from host
side. Rather than this unstable way, virtio balloon reports OOM-KILL
invocations instead.
