[PATCH v1 18/26] mm: zswap: prevent lruvec release in zswap_folio_swapin()

From: Muchun Song <songmuchun@bytedance.com>

In the near future, a folio will no longer pin its corresponding
memory cgroup. So an lruvec returned by folio_lruvec() could be
released without the rcu read lock or a reference to its memory
cgroup.

In the current patch, the rcu read lock is employed to safeguard
against the release of the lruvec in zswap_folio_swapin().

This serves as a preparatory measure for the reparenting of the
LRU pages.
