Subject: [PATCH] brd: fix leeping function called from invalid context in brd_insert_page()

From: Yu Kuai <yukuai3@...wei.com>

__xa_cmpxchg() is called with rcu_read_lock(), and it will allocated
memory if necessary.

Fix the problem by moving rcu_read_lock() after __xa_cmpxchg, meanwhile,
it still should be held before xa_unlock(), prevent returned page to be
freed by concurrent discard.

Fixes: bbcacab2e8ee ("brd: avoid extra xarray lookups on first write")
