Subject: [PATCH 0/5] zram clean up

This patchset aims zram clean-up.

[1] clean up multiple pages's bvec handling.
[2] clean up partial IO handling
[3-5] clean up zram via using accessor and removing pointless structure.

With [2-5] applied, we can get a few hundred bytes as well as huge
readibility enhance.

This patchset is based on v4.11-rc4-mmotm-2017-03-30-16-31 and
*drop* zram-factor-out-partial-io-routine.patch.
