zsmalloc: return -EBUSY for zspage migration lock contention

Browse source

movable_operations::migrate_page() should return an appropriate error code
for temporary migration failures so the migration core can handle them
correctly.

zs_page_migrate() currently returns -EINVAL when zspage_write_trylock()
fails.  That path reflects transient lock contention, not invalid input,
so -EINVAL is clearly wrong.

However, -EAGAIN is also inappropriate here: the zspage's reader-lock
owner may hold the lock for an unbounded duration due to slow
decompression or reader-lock owner preemption.  Since migration retries
are bounded by NR_MAX_MIGRATE_PAGES_RETRY and performed with virtually no
delay between attempts, there is no guarantee the lock will be released in
time for a retry to succeed.  -EAGAIN implies "try again soon", which does
not hold in this case.

Return -EBUSY instead, which more accurately conveys that the resource is
occupied and migration cannot proceed at this time.
