Subject: [PATCH 0/2] zram: switch to per-cpu compression streams

Hello,

The patchset drops idle compression streams list from zcomp, so
zram now is using per-cpu compression streams. This removes two
spin_lock()/spin_unlock() calls from the write path and prevents
write OP from being preempted with active compression stream,
which improves performance (according to the tests, see commit
messages) and simplifies the code.
