Subject: zram: revalidate disk under init_lock

[1] moved revalidate_disk call out of init_lock to avoid lockdep
false-positive splat. However, [2] remove init_lock in IO path
so there is no worry about lockdep splat. So, let's restore it.
This patch need to set BDI_CAP_STABLE_WRITES atomically in
next patch.
