[PATCH] mm/z3fold: don't try to use buddy slots after free

As reported by Henry Burns:

Running z3fold stress testing with address sanitization
showed zhdr->slots was being used after it was freed.

z3fold_free(z3fold_pool, handle)
  free_handle(handle)
    kmem_cache_free(pool->c_handle, zhdr->slots)
  release_z3fold_page_locked_list(kref)
    __release_z3fold_page(zhdr, true)
      zhdr_to_pool(zhdr)
        slots_to_pool(zhdr->slots)  *BOOM*

To fix this, add pointer to the pool back to z3fold_header and modify
zhdr_to_pool to return zhdr->pool.

Fixes: 7c2b8baa61fe  ("mm/z3fold.c: add structure for buddy handles")
