Subject: [PATCH v2] zsmalloc: zs_page_migrate: schedule free_work if zspage is ZS_EMPTY

After commit e2846124f9a2 ("zsmalloc: zs_page_migrate: skip unnecessary
loops but not return -EBUSY if zspage is not inuse") zs_page_migrate
can handle the ZS_EMPTY zspage.

But I got some false in zs_page_isolate:
	if (get_zspage_inuse(zspage) == 0) {
		spin_unlock(&class->lock);
		return false;
	}
The page of this zspage was migrated in before.

The reason is commit e2846124f9a2 ("zsmalloc: zs_page_migrate: skip
unnecessary loops but not return -EBUSY if zspage is not inuse") just
handle the "page" but not "newpage" then it keep the "newpage" with
a empty zspage inside system.
Root cause is zs_page_isolate remove it from ZS_EMPTY list but not
call zs_page_putback "schedule_work(&pool->free_work);".  Because
zs_page_migrate done the job without "schedule_work(&pool->free_work);"

Make this patch let zs_page_migrate wake up free_work if need.

Fixes: e2846124f9a2 ("zsmalloc: zs_page_migrate: skip unnecessary loops but not return -EBUSY if zspage is not inuse")
