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.
