What I am describing is a call to zsmalloc_aops->migratepage() by
kcompactd (which can call schedule work in either
zs_page_migrate() or zs_page_putback should the zspage become empty).

While we are migrating a page, we remove it from the class. Suppose
zs_free() loses a race with migration. We would schedule
async_free_zspage() to handle freeing that zspage, however we have no
guarantee that migration has finished
by the time we finish flush_work(&pool->work). In that case we then
call iput(inode), and now we have a page
pointing to a non-existent inode. (At which point something like
kcompactd would potentially BUG() if it tries to get a page
(from the inode) that doesn't exist anymore)

We could have a pool level counter of isolated pages, and wait for
that to finish before starting flush_work(&pool->work); However,
that would require an atomic_long in zs_pool, and we would have to eat
the cost of any contention over that lock. Still, it might be
preferable to a per-class granularity.
