zram: avoid NULL pointer access in concurrent situation
There is a rare NULL pointer bug in mem_used_total_show() and mem_used_max_store() in concurrent situation, like this: zram is not initialized, process A is a mem_used_total reader which runs periodically, while process B try to init zram. process A process B access meta, get a NULL value init zram, done init_done() is true access meta->mem_pool, get a NULL pointer BUG This patch fixes this issue.
