Reclaim and free can race on an object which is basically fine but
in order for reclaim to be able to map "freed" object we need to
encode object length in the handle. handle_to_chunks() is then
introduced to extract object length from a handle and use it during
mapping.
Moreover, to avoid racing on a z3fold "headless" page release, we
should not try to free that page in z3fold_free() if the reclaim
bit is set. Also, in the unlikely case of trying to reclaim a page
being freed, we should not proceed with that page.
While at it, fix the page accounting in reclaim function.
This patch supersedes "[PATCH] z3fold: fix reclaim lock-ups".

This conflicts with z3fold-fix-wrong-handling-of-headless-pages.patch,
below. What should we do?
(I think we're still awaiting your input on this one. Or I might have
missed an amail.)
From: Jongseok Kim <[email protected]>
Subject: mm/z3fold.c: fix wrong handling of headless pages
During the processing of headless pages in z3fold_reclaim_page(), there
was a problem that the zhdr pointed to another page or a page was already
released in z3fold_free(). So, the wrong page is encoded in headless, or
test_bit does not work properly in z3fold_reclaim_page(). This patch
fixed these problems.
