[PATCHv4 2/6] zram: permit only one post-processing operation at a time

[Sergey Senozhatsky]

Both recompress and writeback soon will unlock slots
during processing, which makes things too complex wrt
possible race-conditions.  We still want to clear PP_SLOT
in slot_free, because this is how we figure out that
slot that was selected for post-processing has been
released under us and when we start post-processing we
check if slot still has PP_SLOT set.  At the same time,
theoretically, we can have something like this:

CPU0			    CPU1

recompress
scan slots
set PP_SLOT
unlock slot
			slot_free
			clear PP_SLOT

			allocate PP_SLOT
			writeback
			scan slots
			set PP_SLOT
			unlock slot
select PP-slot
test PP_SLOT

So recompress will not detect that slot has been re-used
and re-selected for concurrent writeback post-processing.

Make sure that we only permit on post-processing operation
at a time.  So now recompress and writeback post-processing
don't race against each other, we only need to handle slot
re-use (slot_free and write), which is handled individually
by each pp operation.

Having recompress and writeback competing for the same slots
is not exactly good anyway (can't imagine anyone doing that).
