Subject: [PATCH 1/2 v2] mm/zsmalloc.c: Migration can leave pages in ZS_EMPTY indefinitely

In zs_page_migrate() we call putback_zspage() after we have finished
migrating all pages in this zspage. However, the return value is ignored.
If a zs_free() races in between zs_page_isolate() and zs_page_migrate(),
freeing the last object in the zspage, putback_zspage() will leave the page
in ZS_EMPTY for potentially an unbounded amount of time.

To fix this, we need to do the same thing as zs_page_putback() does:
schedule free_work to occur.  To avoid duplicated code, move the
sequence to a new putback_zspage_deferred() function which both
zs_page_migrate() and zs_page_putback() call.

Fixes: 48b4800a1c6a ("zsmalloc: page migration support")
Signed-off-by: Henry Burns <henryburns@...gle.com>

 Changelog since v1:
 - Moved the comment from putback_zspage_deferred() to
   zs_page_putback().
