z3fold: fix page locking in z3fold_alloc()
Stress testing of the current z3fold implementation on a 8-core system revealed it was possible that a z3fold page deleted from its unbuddied list in z3fold_alloc() would be put on another unbuddied list by z3fold_free() while z3fold_alloc() is still processing it. This has been introduced with commit 5a27aa822 ("z3fold: add kref refcounting") due to the removal of special handling of a z3fold page not on any list in z3fold_free(). To fix this, the z3fold page lock should be taken in z3fold_alloc() before the pool lock is released. To avoid deadlocking, we just try to lock the page as soon as we get a hold of it, and if trylock fails, we drop this page and take the next one.
