Ok, I just tested these three patches on my server, found improvement in the
kernel build testcase on a tmpfs with zswap (lz4 + zsmalloc) enabled.

        mm-stable 501a06fe8e4c	patched
real	1m38.028s		1m32.317s
user	19m11.482s		18m39.439s
sys	19m26.445s		17m5.646s

The improvement looks good! So feel free to add:
