[PATCH] zram: avoid lockdep splat by revalidate_disk

[Minchan Kim]

Sasha reported lockdep warning[1] introduced by [2].

It could be fixed by doing disk revalidation out of the init_lock.
It's okay because disk capacity change is protected by init_lock
so that revalidate_disk always sees up-to-date value so there is
no race.
