Subject: [PATCH] zram: Replace bit spinlocks with spinlock_t for PREEMPT_RT.

From: Mike Galbraith <umgwanakikbuti@...il.com>

The bit spinlock disables preemption. The spinlock_t lock becomes a sleeping
lock on PREEMPT_RT and it can not be acquired in this context. In this locked
section, zs_free() acquires a zs_pool::lock, and there is access to
zram::wb_limit_lock.

Use a spinlock_t on PREEMPT_RT for locking and set/ clear ZRAM_LOCK bit after
the lock has been acquired/ dropped.

I'm simply forwarding Mike's patch here. The other alternative is to let
the driver depend on !PREEMPT_RT. I can't tell likely it is that this
driver is used. Mike most likely stumbled upon it while running LTP.
