zsmalloc: sleepable zspage reader-lock
In order to implement preemptible object mapping we need a zspage lock that satisfies several preconditions: - it should be reader-write type of a lock - it should be possible to hold it from any context, but also being preemptible if the context allows it - we never sleep while acquiring but can sleep while holding in read mode An rwsemaphore doesn't suffice, due to atomicity requirements, rwlock doesn't satisfy due to reader-preemptability requirement. It's also worth to mention, that per-zspage rwsem is a little too memory heavy (we can easily have double digits megabytes used only on rwsemaphores). Switch over from rwlock_t to a atomic_t-based implementation of a reader-writer semaphore that satisfies all of the preconditions. The spin-lock based zspage_lock is suggested by Hillf Danton.
