zram: Fix deadlock bug in partial read/write
Now zram allocates new page with GFP_KERNEL in zram I/O path if IO is partial. Unfortunately, It may cause deadlock with reclaim path like below. write_page from fs fs_lock allocation(GFP_KERNEL) reclaim pageout write_page from fs fs_lock <-- deadlock This patch fixes it by using GFP_NOIO. In read path, we reorganize code flow so that kmap_atomic is called after the GFP_NOIO allocation.
