Subject: [PATCH] zram: move comp allocation out of init_lock

While fixing lockdep spew of ->init_lock reported by Sasha Levin [1], Minchan
Kim noted [2] that it's better to move compression backend allocation (using
GPF_KERNEL) out of the ->init_lock lock, same way as with zram_meta_alloc(),
in order to prevent the same lockdep spew.
