Subject: [PATCH 4.9 013/120] zram: revalidate disk under init_lock

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Minchan Kim <minchan@...nel.org>

commit e7ccfc4ccb703e0f033bd4617580039898e912dd upstream.

Commit b4c5c60920e3 ("zram: avoid lockdep splat by revalidate_disk")
moved revalidate_disk call out of init_lock to avoid lockdep
false-positive splat.  However, commit 08eee69fcf6b ("zram: remove
init_lock in zram_make_request") removed init_lock in IO path so there
is no worry about lockdep splat.  So, let's restore it.

This patch is needed to set BDI_CAP_STABLE_WRITES atomically in next
patch.

Fixes: da9556a2367c ("zram: user per-cpu compression streams")
