This reverts commit eaebeb93922ca6ab0dd92027b73d0112701706ef.

Commit eaebeb93922c ("mm: zswap: fix race between [de]compression and CPU hotunplug") used the CPU hotplug lock in zswap compress/decompress operations to protect against a race with CPU hotunplug making some per-CPU resources go away.

However, zswap compress/decompress can be reached through reclaim while the lock is held, resulting in a potential deadlock as reported by syzbot: ====================================================== WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected 6.13.0-rc6-syzkaller-00006-g5428dc1906dd #0 Not tainted ------------------------------------------------------ kswapd0/89 is trying to acquire lock: ffffffff8e7d2ed0 (cpu_hotplug_lock){++++}-{0:0}, at: acomp_ctx_get_cpu mm/zswap.c:886 [inline] ffffffff8e7d2ed0 (cpu_hotplug_lock){++++}-{0:0}, at: zswap_compress mm/zswap.c:908 [inline] ffffffff8e7d2ed0 (cpu_hotplug_lock){++++}-{0:0}, at: zswap_store_page mm/zswap.c:1439 [inline] ffffffff8e7d2ed0 (cpu_hotplug_lock){++++}-{0:0}, at: zswap_store+0xa74/0x1ba0 mm/zswap.c:1546

which lock already depends on the new lock.

Revert the change. A different fix for the race with CPU hotunplug will follow.
