[PATCH V3 RT] mm/zswap: Do not disable preemption in zswap_frontswap_store()

[Luis Claudio R. Goncalves]

Zswap causes "BUG: scheduling while atomic" by blocking on a rt_spin_lock() with
preemption disabled. The preemption is disabled by get_cpu_var() in
zswap_frontswap_store() to protect the access of the zswap_dstmem percpu variable.

Use get_locked_var() to protect the percpu zswap_dstmem variable, making the
code preemptive.

As get_cpu_ptr() also disables preemption, replace it by this_cpu_ptr() and
remove the counterpart put_cpu_ptr().

Steps to Reproduce:

    1. # grubby --args "zswap.enabled=1" --update-kernel DEFAULT
    2. # reboot
    3. Calculate the amount o memory to be used by the test:
       ---> grep MemAvailable /proc/meminfo
       ---> Add 25% ~ 50% to that value
    4. # stress --vm 1 --vm-bytes ${MemAvailable+25%} --timeout 240s

Usually, in less than 5 minutes the backtrace listed below appears, followed
by a kernel panic:

Tested:   Ran back-to-back repetitions of the reproducer during 10 hours,
          with the V3 patch applied, and no errors were observed. Without
          this patch, every test run ends in a kernel panic, in less than
          5 minutes.
