Recently rw_page block device operation has been added.
This patchset implements rw_page operation for zram block device
and does some clean-up .

I implemented the feature in zram and tested it.
Test bed was the G2, LG electronic mobile device, whtich has msm8974
processor and 2GB memory.
With a memory allocation test program consuming memory, the system
generates swap.
And operating time of swap_write_page() was measured.

--------------------------------------------------
|             |   operating time   | improvement |
|             |  (20 runs average) |             |
--------------------------------------------------
|with patch   |    1087.35 us      |             |
--------------------------------------------------
|without patch|    1061.15 us      |    +2.4%    |
--------------------------------------------------

Each test(with paged_io,with BIO)  result set shows normal distribution
and has equal variance.
I mean the two values are valid result to compare.
I can say operation with paged I/O(without BIO)  is faster 2.4% with
confidence level 95%.

Patches 1~2 are for clean-up.
Patch 3 is for implementation of rw_page operation.
With the rw_page operation, zram can do I/O without allocating a BIO.
It make zram can save time and memory.

karam.lee (3):
  zram: remove bio parameter from zram_bvec_rw().
  zram: change parameter from vaild_io_request()
  zram: implement rw_page operation of zram
