[PATCH v7 00/21] mm/zsmalloc: add zpdesc memory descriptor for zswap.zpool

[alexs@kernel.org]

From: Alex Shi <alexs@kernel.org>

According to Metthew's plan, the page descriptor will be replace by a 8
bytes mem_desc on destination purpose.
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/YvV1KTyzZ+Jrtj9x@casper.infradead.org/

This patchset abstracts the memory descriptor used in zsmalloc by zswap/zram.
The descriptor still overlays the struct page; nothing has changed
in that regard. What this patchset accomplishes is the use of folios in
to save some code size, and the introduction of a new concept, zpdesc. 
This patchset is just an initial step; it does not bias the potential 
changes to kmem_alloc or larger zspage modifications.

To name the struct zpdesc instead of zsdesc, since there are still 3
zpools under zswap: zbud, z3fold, zsmalloc for now(z3fold maybe removed
soon), and we could easyly extend it to other zswap.zpool in needs.

For all zswap.zpools, they are all using single page since often used
under memory pressure. So the conversion via folio series helper is
better than page's for compound_head check saving.

For now, all zpools are using some page struct members, like page.flags
for PG_private/PG_locked. and list_head lru, page.mapping for page migration.

This patachset does not increase the descriptor size nor introduce any
functional changes, and could save about 122Kbytes zsmalloc.o size.

Thanks a lot for comments and suggestion from Yosry, Yoo, Sergey, Willy
and Vishal!

Thanks
Alex
