Subject: [PATCH v2] zsmalloc: fix migrate_zspage-zs_free race condition

To prevent unlock at the not correct situation, tagging the new obj to
assure lock in migrate_zspage() before right unlock path.

Two functions are in race condition by tag which set 1 on last bit of
obj, however unlock succrently when update new obj to handle before call
unpin_tag() which is right unlock path.

summarize this problem by call flow as below:

		CPU0								CPU1
migrate_zspage
find_alloced_obj()
	trypin_tag() -- obj |= HANDLE_PIN_BIT
obj_malloc() -- new obj is not set			zs_free
record_obj() -- unlock and break sync		pin_tag() -- get lock
unpin_tag()

Before code make crash as below:
	Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000
	CPU: 0 PID: 19001 Comm: CookieMonsterCl Tainted:
	PC is at get_zspage_mapping+0x0/0x24
	LR is at obj_free.isra.22+0x64/0x128
	Call trace:
		[<ffffffc0001a3aa8>] get_zspage_mapping+0x0/0x24
		[<ffffffc0001a4918>] zs_free+0x88/0x114

		[<ffffffc000184350>] unmap_vmas+0x44/0x60
		[<ffffffc00018a53c>] exit_mmap+0x50/0x110
		[<ffffffc00009e408>] mmput+0x58/0xe0
		[<ffffffc0000a2854>] do_exit+0x320/0x8dc
		[<ffffffc0000a3cb4>] do_group_exit+0x44/0xa8
		[<ffffffc0000ae1bc>] get_signal+0x538/0x580
		[<ffffffc000087e44>] do_signal+0x98/0x4b8
		[<ffffffc00008843c>] do_notify_resume+0x14/0x5c

and for test, print obj value after pin_tag() in zs_free().
Sometimes obj is even number means break synchronization.

After patched, crash is not occurred and obj is only odd number in same
situation.
