zram: fix race between backing_dev_show and backing_dev_store

CPU0:        CPU1:
backing_dev_show        backing_dev_store
    ......    ......
    file = zram->backing_dev;
    down_read(&zram->init_lock);    down_read(&zram->init_init_lock)
    file_path(file, ...);    zram->backing_dev = backing_dev;
    up_read(&zram->init_lock);    up_read(&zram->init_lock);

gets the value of zram->backing_dev too early in backing_dev_show, which
resultin the value being NULL at the beginning, and not NULL later.
