I think the per-page lock must be held around almost all access to any
page zhdr data; previously that was protected by the pool lock.

either indicate this needs to be called with zhdr->page_lock held, or
ensure it never is and take lock internally, like the encode_handle
function above.

mapping and chunk checks above need to be protected by the per-page lock.

I think this needs to be left in place below, after the UNDER_RECLAIM
check; if it is being reclaimed, it's already been taken off of its
buddy list.

kind of. another free for a different bud in this page could come in
at the same time, so we have no guarantee that we have exclusive
access to it. must be careful going between the pool and page locks,
to avoid deadlock; and to avoid removing the page from its buddy list,
if it's already been removed.

as in compact, lock needs to protect all zhdr field access
