Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/6] zsmalloc: make zsmalloc preemptible

RFC

This is Part II of the series [1] that makes zram read() and write()
preemptible.  This part focuses only zsmalloc because zsmalloc imposes
atomicity restrictions on its users.  One notable example is object
mapping API, which returns with:
a) local CPU lock held
b) zspage rwlock held

First, zsmalloc is converted to use sleepable locks for internal
structs/data managements.  Second, a new handle mapping is introduced
(temporarily, until we remove zs_map_object/zs_unmap_object) which
doesn't use per-CPU buffers (and hence local CPU lock) but requires
users to provide a pointer to temp buffer for objects copy-in (when
needed) so the callers now should be able to schedule while having
objects mapped.

The series makes zsmalloc preemptible which, in turn, makes zram read()
preemptible.

  zram: deffer slot free notification
  zsmalloc: make zspage lock preemptible
  zsmalloc: convert to sleepable pool lock
  zsmalloc: make class lock sleepable
  zsmalloc: introduce handle mapping API
  zram: switch over to zshandle mapping API
