zram: Fix deadlock bug in partial read/write

commit 7e5a5104 upstream.

Now zram allocates new page with GFP_KERNEL in zram I/O path
if IO is partial. Unfortunately, It may cause deadlock with
reclaim path like below.

write_page from fs
fs_lock
allocation(GFP_KERNEL)
reclaim
pageout
				write_page from fs
				fs_lock <-- deadlock

This patch fixes it by using GFP_NOIO.  In read path, we
reorganize code flow so that kmap_atomic is called after the
GFP_NOIO allocation.
