Bugzilla: 1029539
Brew-build: https://brewweb.devel.redhat.com/taskinfo?taskID=6564546

Due to a bug, RHEL6 has never disabled the virtio-balloon-pci
driver's event_idx property for machine types rhel6.0.0 and
rhel6.1.0. The end result is that migration from RHEL6 to RHEL7
fails for those machine types.

The most obvious way to fix this problem is to fix RHEL6 to
really disable the property. But this won't solve the problem
for old RHEL6 binaries. Actually, it will make migration
incompatible between old RHEL6 binaries and newer ones.

This commit makes the mistake official instead by dropping
the compat property for RHEL7. This fixes migration between
RHEL6 and RHEL7 without adding any new problems.
