zsmalloc: fix races between modifications of fullness and isolated
[ Upstream commit 4b5d1e47b69426c0f7491d97d73ad0152d02d437 ]

We encountered many kernel exceptions of VM_BUG_ON(zspage->isolated ==
0) in dec_zspage_isolation() and BUG_ON(!pages[1]) in zs_unmap_object()
lately.  This issue only occurs when migration and reclamation occur at
the same time.

With our memory stress test, we can reproduce this issue several times
a day.  We have no idea why no one else encountered this issue.  BTW,
we switched to the new kernel version with this defect a few months
ago.

Since fullness and isolated share the same unsigned int, modifications of
them should be protected by the same lock.
