z3fold: fix page locking in z3fold_alloc()

Browse Source 
Stress testing of the current z3fold implementation on a 8-core system
revealed it was possible that a z3fold page deleted from its unbuddied
list in z3fold_alloc() would be put on another unbuddied list by
z3fold_free() while z3fold_alloc() is still processing it.  This has
been introduced with commit 5a27aa822 ("z3fold: add kref refcounting")
due to the removal of special handling of a z3fold page not on any list
in z3fold_free().

To fix this, the z3fold page lock should be taken in z3fold_alloc()
before the pool lock is released.  To avoid deadlocking, we just try to
lock the page as soon as we get a hold of it, and if trylock fails, we
drop this page and take the next one.
