zsmalloc: do not take class lock in zs_shrinker_count()
We can avoid taking class ->lock around zs_can_compact() in zs_shrinker_count(), because the number that we return back is outdated in general case, by design. We have different sources that are able to change class's state right after we return from zs_can_compact() -- ongoing I/O operations, manually triggered compaction, or two of them happening simultaneously. We re-do this calculations during compaction on a per class basis anyway. zs_unregister_shrinker() will not return until we have an active shrinker, so classes won't unexpectedly disappear while zs_shrinker_count() iterates them.
