This patch series introduces asynchronous writeback to the zram module.
By moving to an asynchronous model, we can perform writeback operations
more efficiently.

The series is structured as follows:

The first patch is a preparatory refactoring that moves all
writeback-related code into its own files (zram_wb.[ch]) without any
functional changes.

The second patch introduces the core infrastructure for asynchronicity,
including a dedicated kthread, a request queue, and helper functions to
manage writeback requests.

The final patch enables asynchronous writeback by switching from
submit_bio_wait() to the non-blocking submit_bio(). This patch also
includes performance benchmarks demonstrating a 27% improvement in
idle writeback speed on an Android platform.

Changes in v2:
- Rebase and spilt to a series of patchset
- Add test results
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250618132622.3730219-1-richardycc@google.com/
