z3fold: fix possible reclaim races
Reclaim and free can race on an object which is basically fine but in
order for reclaim to be able to map "freed" object we need to encode
object length in the handle. handle_to_chunks() is then introduced to
extract object length from a handle and use it during mapping.
Moreover, to avoid racing on a z3fold "headless" page release, we should
not try to free that page in z3fold_free() if the reclaim bit is set.
Also, in the unlikely case of trying to reclaim a page being freed, we
should not proceed with that page.
While at it, fix the page accounting in reclaim function.
This patch supersedes "[PATCH] z3fold: fix reclaim lock-ups".
