The slot lock is a bit operation on the whole __lock word, which
flags and ac_time alias as two u32s. On little-endian the lock bit
lands in the position ZRAM_ENTRY_LOCK reserves in flags, so the
aliasing works out. On 64-bit big-endian it lands in ac_time
instead: with ZRAM_TRACK_ENTRY_ACTIME enabled, storing the access
time from mark_slot_accessed() or slot_free() wipes out the held
lock bit, letting another CPU take the same slot lock; an access
time value with that bit set makes the slot look locked forever.

Shift the lock bit into the flags half of the word on big-endian
64-bit.

Fixes: 2e8ff2f51dde ("zram: use u32 for entry ac_time tracking")
