Subject: mm/z3fold.c: claim page in the beginning of free
There's a really hard to reproduce race in z3fold between z3fold_free()
and z3fold_reclaim_page(). z3fold_reclaim_page() can claim the page after
z3fold_free() has checked if the page was claimed and z3fold_free() will
then schedule this page for compaction which may in turn lead to random
page faults (since that page would have been reclaimed by then). Fix that
by claiming page in the beginning of z3fold_free() and not forgetting to
clear the claim in the end.
