(taking a break from hotplug squabble to pick on something easier:)

drivers/zram: Don't disable preemption in zcomp_stream_get/put()

In v4.7, the driver switched to percpu compression streams, disabling
preemption vai get/put_cpu_ptr(). Use a local lock instead for RT.
We also have to fix an RT lock order issue in zram_decompress_page()
such that zs_map_object() nests inside of zcomp_stream_put() as it
does in zram_bvec_write().
