staging: zcache: avoid AB-BA deadlock condition
Commit 9256a47 fixed a deadlock condition, being sure that the buddy list spinlock is always taken before the page spinlock. However in zbud_free_and_delist() locking order is the opposite (page lock -> list lock). Possible unsafe locking scenario (reported by lockdep): CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- lock(&(&zbpg->lock)->rlock); lock(zbud_budlists_spinlock); lock(&(&zbpg->lock)->rlock); lock(zbud_budlists_spinlock); Fix by grabbing the locks in opposite order in zbud_free_and_delist().
