Subject: zram: move post-processing target allocation
Date: Mon, 3 Mar 2025 11:03:20 +0900

Allocate post-processing target in place_pp_slot().  This simplifies
scan_slots_for_writeback() and scan_slots_for_recompress() loops because
we don't need to track pps pointer state anymore.  Previously we have to
explicitly NULL the point if it has been added to a post-processing bucket
or re-use previously allocated pointer otherwise and make sure we don't
leak the memory in the end.

We are also fine doing GFP_NOIO allocation, as post-processing can be
called under memory pressure so we better pick as many slots as we can as
soon as we can and start post-processing them, possibly saving the memory.
Allocation failure there is not fatal, we will post-process whatever we
put into the buckets on previous iterations.
