zswap: don't param_set_charp while holding spinlock
commit fd5bb66cd934987e49557455b6497fc006521940 upstream.
Change the zpool/compressor param callback function to release the
zswap_pools_lock spinlock before calling param_set_charp, since that
function may sleep when it calls kmalloc with GFP_KERNEL.
While this problem has existed for a while, I wasn't able to trigger it
using a tight loop changing either/both the zpool and compressor params; I
think it's very unlikely to be an issue on the stable kernels, especially
since most zswap users will change the compressor and/or zpool from sysfs
only one time each boot - or zero times, if they add the params to the
kernel boot.
Fixes: c99b42c3529e ("zswap: use charp for zswap param strings")
