zram: keep the exact overcommited value in mem_used_max
`mem_used_max' is designed to store the max amount of memory zram consumed
to store the data. However, it does not represent the actual
'overcommited' (max) value. The existing code goes to -ENOMEM
overcommited case before it updates `->stats.max_used_pages', which hides
the reason we went to -ENOMEM in the first place -- we actually used more
memory than `->limit_pages':
alloced_pages = zs_get_total_pages(meta->mem_pool);
if (zram->limit_pages && alloced_pages > zram->limit_pages) {
zs_free(meta->mem_pool, handle);
ret = -ENOMEM;
goto out;
}
update_used_max(zram, alloced_pages);
Which is misleading. User will see -ENOMEM, check `->limit_pages', check
`->stats.max_used_pages', which will keep the value BEFORE zram passed
`->limit_pages', and see:
`->stats.max_used_pages' < `->limit_pages'
Move update_used_max() before we do `->limit_pages' check, so that
user will see:
`->stats.max_used_pages' > `->limit_pages'
should the overcommit and -ENOMEM happen.
