This has been introduced with commit 5a27aa822 ("z3fold: add kref refcounting") due to the removal of special handling of a z3fold page not on any list in z3fold_free(). To fix this, the z3fold page lock should be taken in z3fold_alloc() before the pool lock is released. To avoid deadlocking, we just try to lock the page as soon as we get a hold of it, and if trylock fails, we drop this page and take the next one.
