Subject: [PATCHv2 0/3] z3fold: background page compaction

The coming patchset is another take on z3fold page layout
optimization problem. The previous solution [1] used
shrinker to solve the issue of in-page space fragmentation
but after some discussions the decision was made to rewrite
background page layout optimization using good old work
queues.

The patchset thus implements in-page compaction worker for
z3fold, preceded by some code optimizations and preparations
which, again, deserved to be separate patches.

Main changes compared to v1:
- per-page locking is removed due to size problems (z3fold
  header becomes greater than one chunk on x86_64 with gcc
  6.0) and non-obvious performance benefits
- instead, per-pool spinlock is substituted with rwlock.
