Staging: zram: Replace mutex lock by a R/W semaphore

Currently, nothing protects zram table from concurrent access.
For instance, ZRAM_UNCOMPRESSED bit can be cleared by zram_free_page()
called from a concurrent write between the time ZRAM_UNCOMPRESSED has
been set and the time it is tested to unmap KM_USER0 in
zram_bvec_write(). This ultimately leads to kernel panic.

Also, a read request can occurs when the page has been freed by a
running write request and before it has been updated, leading to
zero filled block being incorrectly read and "Read before write"
error message.

This patch replace the current mutex by a rw_semaphore. It extends
the protection to zram table (currently, only compression buffers are
protected) and read requests (currently, only write requests are
protected).
