zsmalloc: fix migrate_zspage-zs_free race condition

commit c102f07ca0b04f2cb49cfc161c83f6239d17f491 upstream.

record_obj() in migrate_zspage() does not preserve handle's
HANDLE_PIN_BIT, set by find_aloced_obj()->trypin_tag(), and implicitly
(accidentally) un-pins the handle, while migrate_zspage() still performs
an explicit unpin_tag() on the that handle.  This additional explicit
unpin_tag() introduces a race condition with zs_free(), which can pin
that handle by this time, so the handle becomes un-pinned.

Schematically, it goes like this:

  CPU0                                        CPU1
  migrate_zspage
    find_alloced_obj
      trypin_tag
        set HANDLE_PIN_BIT                    zs_free()
                                                pin_tag()
  obj_malloc() -- new object, no tag
  record_obj() -- remove HANDLE_PIN_BIT           set HANDLE_PIN_BIT
  unpin_tag()  -- remove zs_free's HANDLE_PIN_BIT

The race condition may result in a NULL pointer dereference:

  Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000

This patch keeps the lock bit in migration path and update value
atomically.
