Subject: [PATCH] zsmalloc: fix a race with deferred_handles storing

Currently, there is a race between zs_free() and zs_reclaim_page():
zs_reclaim_page() finds a handle to an allocated object, but before the
eviction happens, an independent zs_free() call to the same handle could
come in and overwrite the object value stored at the handle with
the last deferred handle. When zs_reclaim_page() finally gets to call
the eviction handler, it will see an invalid object value (i.e the
previous deferred handle instead of the original object value).

This race happens quite infrequently. We only managed to produce it with
out-of-tree developmental code that triggers zsmalloc writeback with a
much higher frequency than usual.

This patch fixes this race by storing the deferred handle in the object
header instead. We differentiate the deferred handle from the other two
cases (handle for allocated object, and linkage for free object) with a
new tag. If zspage reclamation succeeds, we will free these deferred
handles by walking through the zspage objects. On the other hand, if
zspage reclamation fails, we reconstruct the zspage freelist (with the
deferred handle tag and allocated tag) before trying again with the
reclamation.
