__SetPageMovable() expects it's page to be locked, but z3fold.c doesn't
lock the page. Following zsmalloc.c's example we call trylock_page() and
unlock_page(). Also makes z3fold_page_migrate() assert that newpage is
passed in locked, as documentation.

So this triggers the VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!PageLocked(page), page) in
__SetPageMovable(), yes?

If this warn triggers then someone else has locked the page.

and we proceed to undo their lock.  So that other code path will then
perform an unlock of an unlocked page.  Etcetera.

It would be much much better to do a plain old lock_page() here.  If
that results in a deadlock then let's find out why and fix it without
trylock hacks.
