mm/zswap: global lru and shrinker shared by all zswap_pools

Patch series "mm/zswap: optimize for dynamic zswap_pools", v3.

Dynamic pool creation has been supported for a long time, which maybe not
used so much in practice.  But with the per-memcg lru merged, the current
structure of zswap_pool's lru and shrinker become less optimal.

In the current structure, each zswap_pool has its own lru, shrinker and
shrink_work, but only the latest zswap_pool will be the current used.

1. When memory has pressure, all shrinkers of zswap_pools will try to
   shrink its lru list, there is no order between them.

2. When zswap limit hit, only the last zswap_pool's shrink_work will
   try to shrink its own lru, which is inefficient.

A more natural way is to have a global zswap lru shared between all
zswap_pools, and so is the shrinker. The code becomes much simpler too.

Another optimization is changing zswap_pool kref to percpu_ref, which will
be taken reference by every zswap entry.  So the scalability is better.

Testing kernel build (32 threads) in tmpfs with memory.max=2GB.  (zswap
shrinker and writeback enabled with one 50GB swapfile, on a 128 CPUs
x86-64 machine, below is the average of 5 runs)

This patch (of 3):

Dynamic zswap_pool creation may create/reuse to have multiple zswap_pools
in a list, only the first will be current used.

Each zswap_pool has its own lru and shrinker, which is not necessary and
has its problem:

1. When memory has pressure, all shrinker of zswap_pools will
   try to shrink its own lru, there is no order between them.

2. When zswap limit hit, only the last zswap_pool's shrink_work
   will try to shrink its lru list. The rationale here was to
   try and empty the old pool first so that we can completely
   drop it. However, since we only support exclusive loads now,
   the LRU ordering should be entirely decided by the order of
   stores, so the oldest entries on the LRU will naturally be
   from the oldest pool.

Anyway, having a global lru and shrinker shared by all zswap_pools is
better and efficient.
