[PATCH 3.15 16/37] zram: avoid lockdep splat by revalidate_disk

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

3.15-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Minchan Kim <minchan@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit b4c5c60920e3b0c4598f43e7317559f6aec51531 upstream.

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.

[2] zram: revalidate disk after capacity change

Fixes 2e32baea46ce ("zram: revalidate disk after capacity change").
