[1] introduced down_write in zram_slot_free_notify to prevent race
between zram_slot_free_notify and zram_bvec_[read|write]. The race
could happen if somebody who has right permission to open swap device
is reading swap device while it is used by swap in parallel.
However, zram_slot_free_notify is called with holding spin_lock of
swap layer so we shouldn't avoid holing mutex. Otherwise, lockdep
warns it.
This patch adds new list to handle free slot and workqueue
so zram_slot_free_notify just registers slot index to be freed and
registers the request to workqueue. If workqueue is expired,
it holds mutex_lock so there is no problem any more.
If any I/O is issued, zram handles pending slot-free request
caused by zram_slot_free_notify right before handling issued
request because workqueue wouldn't be expired yet so zram I/O
request handling function can miss it.
Lastly, when zram is reset, flush_work could handle all of pending
free request so we shouldn't have memory leak.
NOTE: If zram_slot_free_notify's kmalloc with GFP_ATOMIC would be
failed, the slot will be freed when next write I/O write the slot.
