[PATCH mm-unstable v2] mm/zswap: fix zswap_pools_lock usages after changing to percpu_ref

[Chengming Zhou]

Now the release of zswap pool is controlled by percpu_ref, its release
callback (__zswap_pool_empty()) will be called when percpu_ref hit 0.
But this release callback may potentially be called from RCU callback
context by percpu_ref_kill(), which maybe from the softirq context.

So we need to use spin_lock/unlock_bh() to avoid potential deadlock.

This problem is introduced by the commit f3da427e82c4 ("mm/zswap: change
zswap_pool kref to percpu_ref"), which is in mm-unstable branch now.
It can be reproduced by testing kernel build in tmpfs with zswap and
CONFIG_LOCKDEP enabled, meanwhile changing the zswap compressor setting
dynamically.

v2:
 - Change to use spin_lock/unlock_bh(), per Matthew.
