It should be safe. We already initialize entry->lru after we insert
the entry in the tree. See the comment above the call to
zswap_lru_add(). Basically we are protected against concurrent
stores/loads through the folio lock, and are protected against
writeback because the entry is not on the LRU yet.

I am referring to the comment here ^
