As Wei already said, this should not be necessary, but see below.

Note that we set names[q] to NULL, but not callbacks[q].

This will end up in vp_find_vqs_msix() eventually, which will try to
determine the number of needed vectors based upon whether callbacks[q]
is !NULL. That's probably the reason you end up trying to use more
vectors than needed. (Further down in that function, the code will skip
any queue with names[q] == NULL, but that's too late for determining
the number of vectors.)
So I think that either (a) virtio-pci should avoid trying to allocate a
vector for queues with names[q] == NULL, or (b) virtio-balloon should
clean out callbacks[q] for unused queues as well. Maybe both?
