3.2.52-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Ben Hutchings <ben@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
This reverts commit 9e443904906ca2b5b3ae71f34ac4a4fa6905623e, which
was commit 57ab048532c0d975538cebd4456491b5c34248f4 upstream.
Taking the semaphore here leads to sleeping in atomic context. This
was fixed in mainline commit a0c516cbfc74 ("zram: don't grab mutex in
zram_slot_free_noity") but that is too difficult to backport.
