Dan and Sergey reported that there is a racy between reset and
flushing of pending work so that it could make oops by freeing
zram->meta in reset while zram_slot_free can access zram->meta
if new request is adding during the race window.
This patch moves flush after taking init_lock so it prevents
new request so that it closes the race.
