zram: avoid NULL pointer access in concurrent situation
There is a rare NULL pointer bug in mem_used_total_show() and
mem_used_max_store() in concurrent situation, like this:
zram is not initialized, process A is a mem_used_total reader which runs
periodically, while process B try to init zram.
process A process B
access meta, get a NULL value
init zram, done
init_done() is true
access meta->mem_pool, get a NULL pointer BUG
This patch fixes this issue.
