Subject: z3fold: fix locking issues
Commit 570931c ("z3fold: use per-page spinlock") introduced locking
issues in reclaim function reported in [1] and [2]. This patch
addresses these issues, also fixing the check for empty lru list
(it was only checked once, while it should be checked every time
we want to get the last lru entry).
