[PATCH v2 2/4] zram: introduce zram->tb_lock

From: Minchan Kim
Date: Tue Jan 14 2014 - 20:11:50 EST


Currently, table is protected by zram->lock but it's rather
coarse-grained lock and it makes hard for scalibility.

Let's use own rwlock instead of depending on zram->lock.
This patch adds new locking so obviously, it would make slow
but this patch is just prepartion for removing coarse-grained
rw_semaphore(ie, zram->lock) which is hurdle about zram
scalability.

Final patch in this patchset series will remove the lock
from read-path and change rw_semaphore with mutex in write path.
With bonus, we could drop pending slot free mess in next patch.
