    zsmalloc: fix migrate_zspage-zs_free race condition · c102f07c

    record_obj() in migrate_zspage() does not preserve handle's
    HANDLE_PIN_BIT, set by find_aloced_obj()->trypin_tag(), and implicitly
    (accidentally) un-pins the handle, while migrate_zspage() still performs
    an explicit unpin_tag() on the that handle.  This additional explicit
    unpin_tag() introduces a race condition with zs_free(), which can pin
    that handle by this time, so the handle becomes un-pinned.
    
    Schematically, it goes like this:
    
      CPU0                                        CPU1
      migrate_zspage
        find_alloced_obj
          trypin_tag
            set HANDLE_PIN_BIT                    zs_free()
                                                    pin_tag()
      obj_malloc() -- new object, no tag
      record_obj() -- remove HANDLE_PIN_BIT           set HANDLE_PIN_BIT
      unpin_tag()  -- remove zs_free's HANDLE_PIN_BIT
    
    The race condition may result in a NULL pointer dereference:
    
      Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000

    This patch keeps the lock bit in migration path and update value
    atomically.
