virtio-balloon: fix integer overflow in BALLOON_CHANGE QMP event

Because dev->actual is uint32_t, the expression 'dev->actual <<
VIRTIO_BALLOON_PFN_SHIFT' is truncated to 32 bits. This overflows when
dev->actual >= 1048576.

To reproduce:

1. Start a VM with a QMP socket and 5G of RAM
2. Connect to the QMP socket, negotiate capabilities and issue:
{ "execute":"balloon", "arguments": { "value": 1073741824 } }
3. Watch for BALLOON_CHANGE QMP events, the last one will incorretly be:
{ "timestamp": { "seconds": 1366228965, "microseconds": 245466 },
"event": "BALLOON_CHANGE", "data": { "actual": 5368709120 } }

To fix it this commit casts it to ram_addr_t, which is ram_size's type.
