zcache: fix deadlock condition
I discovered this deadlock condition awhile ago working on RAMster
but it affects zcache as well. The list spinlock must be
locked prior to the page spinlock and released after. As
a result, the page copy must also be done while the locks are held.
Applies to 3.2. Konrad, please push (via GregKH?)...
this is definitely a bug fix so need not be pushed during
a -rc0 window.
