[PATCHv3 3/3] z3fold: add compaction worker

[Vitaly Wool <vitalywool@gmail.com>]

This patch implements compaction worker thread for z3fold. This
worker does not free up any pages directly but it allows for a
denser placement of compressed objects which results in less
actual pages consumed and higher compression ratio therefore.

This patch has been checked with the latest Linus's tree.
