[v6,14/17] zram: permit reclaim in zstd custom allocator

Commit Message

When configured with pre-trained compression/decompression
dictionary support, zstd requires custom memory allocator,
which it calls internally from compression()/decompression()
routines.  That means allocation from atomic context (either
under entry spin-lock, or per-CPU local-lock or both).  Now,
with non-atomic zram read()/write(), those limitations are
relaxed and we can allow direct and indirect reclaim.
