Subject: [PATCH] mm/z3fold.c: fix z3fold_destroy_pool() ordering

The constraint from the zpool use of z3fold_destroy_pool() is there are
no outstanding handles to memory (so no active allocations), but it is
possible for there to be outstanding work on either of the two wqs in
the pool.

If there is work queued on pool->compact_workqueue when it is called,
z3fold_destroy_pool() will do:

   z3fold_destroy_pool()
     destroy_workqueue(pool->release_wq)
     destroy_workqueue(pool->compact_wq)
       drain_workqueue(pool->compact_wq)
         do_compact_page(zhdr)
           kref_put(&zhdr->refcount)
             __release_z3fold_page(zhdr, ...)
               queue_work_on(pool->release_wq, &pool->work) *BOOM*

So compact_wq needs to be destroyed before release_wq.
