I have tested it in my test vm, but it hasn't KASAN enabled. I tested the
kernel build in tmpfs with zswap enabled using zsmalloc pool, not sure
why the kernel didn't crash then...

You're right, I can reproduce the problem with KASAN enabled this time,
create_page_chain() should be put before init_zspage(), which will iterate
over the pages to create free objects list.

Thanks! I will fix it and test throughly before send an update.
