We don't need wb_limit_lock.  Writeback limit setters take an exclusive
write zram init_lock, while wb_limit modifications happen only from a
single task and under zram read init_lock.  No concurrent wb_limit
modifications are possible (we permit only one post-processing task at a
time).  Add lockdep assertions to wb_limit mutators.

While at it, fixup coding styles.
