I don't see how that is relevant, we don't use zhdr variable if the page is
headless anyway.

Thanks, that is indeed a valid fix, but given the operation of eviction in
zswap case, I'd prefer to release the page here and not in _free().
Basically we should bail very early from z3fold_free() if the page is
headless and UNDER_RECLAIM and keep the code intact in
z3fold_reclaim_page().
