zram: fix umount-reset_store-mount race condition



Ganesh Mahendran was the first one who proposed to use bdev->bd_mutex to
avoid ->bd_holders race condition:

        CPU0                            CPU1
umount /* zram->init_done is true */
reset_store()
bdev->bd_holders == 0                   mount
...                                     zram_make_request()
zram_reset_device()

However, his solution required some considerable amount of code movement,
which we can avoid.

Apart from using bdev->bd_mutex in reset_store(), this patch also
simplifies zram_reset_device().

zram_reset_device() has a bool parameter reset_capacity which tells it
whether disk capacity and itself disk should be reset.  There are two
zram_reset_device() callers:

-- zram_exit() passes reset_capacity=false
-- reset_store() passes reset_capacity=true

So we can move reset_capacity-sensitive work out of zram_reset_device()
and perform it unconditionally in reset_store().  This also lets us drop
reset_capacity parameter from zram_reset_device() and pass zram pointer
only.
