Alexander reported mkswap on /dev/zram0 is failed if other process is
opening the block device file.

Step is as follows,

0. Reset the unused zram device.
1. Use a program that opens /dev/zram0 with O_RDWR and sleeps
   until killed.
2. While that program sleeps, echo the correct value to
   /sys/block/zram0/disksize.
3. Verify (e.g. in /proc/partitions) that the disk size is applied
   correctly. It is.
4. While that program still sleeps, attempt to mkswap /dev/zram0.
   This fails: mkswap: error: swap area needs to be at least 40 KiB

When I investigated, the size get by ioctl(fd, BLKGETSIZE64, xxx) on
mkswap to get a size of blockdev was zero although zram0 has right size by
2.

The reason is zram didn't revalidate disk after changing capacity so that
size of blockdev's inode is not uptodate until all of file is close.

This patch should fix the BUG.
