Alexander reported mkswap on /dev/zram0 is failed if other process
is opening the block device file.
Step is as follows,
0. Reset the unused zram device.
1. Use a program that opens /dev/zram0 with O_RDWR and sleeps
until killed.
2. While that program sleeps, echo the correct value to
/sys/block/zram0/disksize.
3. Verify (e.g. in /proc/partitions) that the disk size is applied
correctly. It is.
4. While that program still sleeps, attempt to mkswap /dev/zram0.
This fails: mkswap: error: swap area needs to be at least 40 KiB
When I investigated, the size get by ioctl(fd, BLKGETSIZE64, xxx)
on mkswap to get a size of blockdev was zero although zram0 has
right size by 2.
The reason is zram didn't revalidate disk after changing capacity
so that size of blockdev's inode is not uptodate until all of file
is close.
This patch should fix the BUG.
