The "compressor" and "enabled" params are currently hidden, this changes
them to read-only, so userspace can tell if zswap is enabled or not and
see what compressor is in use.Signed-off-by: Dan Streetman

The refcount routine was not fit the kernel get/put semantic exactly,
There were too many judgement statements on refcount and it could be
minus.This patch does the following:
- move refcount judgement to zswap_entry_put() to hide resource free function.
- add a new function zswap_entry_find_get(), so that callers can use
easily in the following pattern:zswap_entry_find_get
.../* do something */
zswap_entry_put- to eliminate compile error, move some functions declaration
This patch is based on Minchan Kim 's idea and suggestion.

Consider the following scenario:
thread 0: reclaim entry x (get refcount, but not call zswap_get_swap_cache_page)
thread 1: call zswap_frontswap_invalidate_page to invalidate entry x.
finished, entry x and its zbud is not freed as its refcount != 0
now, the swap_map[x] = 0
thread 0: now call zswap_get_swap_cache_page
swapcache_prepare return -ENOENT because entry x is not used any more
zswap_get_swap_cache_page return ZSWAP_SWAPCACHE_NOMEM
zswap_writeback_entry do nothing except put refcountNow, the memory of zswap_entry x and its zpage leak.
Modify:
- check the refcount in fail path, free memory if it is not referenced.- use ZSWAP_SWAPCACHE_FAIL instead of ZSWAP_SWAPCACHE_NOMEM as the fail path
can be not only caused by nomem but also by invalidate.Signed-off-by: Weijie Yang

Add SetPageReclaim() before __swap_writepage() so that page can be moved
to the tail of the inactive list, which can avoid unnecessary page
scanning as this page was reclaimed by swap subsystem before.Signed-off-by: Weijie Yang

zswap_tree is not freed when swapoff, and it got re-kmalloced in swapon,
so a memory leak occurs.Free the memory of zswap_tree in zswap_frontswap_invalidate_area().

There is a proper macro to get the corresponding swapper address space
from a swap entry. Instead of directly accessing "swapper_spaces" array,
use the "swap_address_space" macro.Signed-off-by: Sunghan Suh

zswap is a thin backend for frontswap that takes pages that are in the
process of being swapped out and attempts to compress them and store
them in a RAM-based memory pool. This can result in a significant I/O
reduction on the swap device and, in the case where decompressing from
RAM is faster than reading from the swap device, can also improve
workload performance.It also has support for evicting swap pages that are currently
compressed in zswap to the swap device on an LRU(ish) basis. This
functionality makes zswap a true cache in that, once the cache is full,
the oldest pages can be moved out of zswap to the swap device so newer
pages can be compressed and stored in zswap.This patch adds the zswap driver to mm/
