zram: use zram->lock to protect zram_free_page() in swap free notify path
zram_slot_free_notify() is free-running without any protection from
concurrent operations. So there are race conditions between
zram_bvec_read()/zram_bvec_write() and zram_slot_free_notify(),
and possible consequences include:
1) Trigger BUG_ON(!handle) on zram_bvec_write() side.
2) Access to freed pages on zram_bvec_read() side.
3) Break some fields (bad_compress, good_compress, pages_stored)
in zram->stats if the swap layer makes concurrently call to
zram_slot_free_notify().
So enhance zram_slot_free_notify() to acquire writer lock on zram->lock
before calling zram_free_page().
