[PATCH] mm: zswap: move allocations during CPU init outside the lock

[Yosry Ahmed <yosryahmed@xxxxxxxxxx>]

In zswap_cpu_comp_prepare(), allocations are made and assigned to
various members of acomp_ctx under acomp_ctx->mutex. However,
allocations may recurse into zswap through reclaim, trying to acquire
the same mutex and deadlocking.

Move the allocations before the mutex critical section. Only the
initialization of acomp_ctx needs to be done with the mutex held.

Fixes: 12dcb0ef5406 ("mm: zswap: properly synchronize freeing resources during CPU hotunplug")
