Subject: [PATCH 8/8] mm/zswap: Use local lock to protect per-CPU data

From: "Luis Claudio R. Goncalves" <lgoncalv@...hat.com>

zwap uses per-CPU compression. The per-CPU data pointer is acquired with
get_cpu_ptr() which implicitly disables preemption. It allocates
memory inside the preempt disabled region which conflicts with the
PREEMPT_RT semantics.

Replace the implicit preemption control with an explicit local lock.
This allows RT kernels to substitute it with a real per CPU lock, which
serializes the access but keeps the code section preemptible. On non RT
kernels this maps to preempt_disable() as before, i.e. no functional
change.

[bigeasy: Use local_lock(), additional hunks, patch description]
