zsmalloc: do not take class lock in zs_shrinker_count()
We can avoid taking class ->lock around zs_can_compact() in
zs_shrinker_count(), because the number that we return back is outdated
in general case, by design. We have different sources that are able to
change class's state right after we return from zs_can_compact() --
ongoing I/O operations, manually triggered compaction, or two of them
happening simultaneously.
We re-do this calculations during compaction on a per class basis
anyway.
zs_unregister_shrinker() will not return until we have an active
shrinker, so classes won't unexpectedly disappear while
zs_shrinker_count() iterates them.
