Subject: [PATCH] Allow sharing xvmalloc for zram and zcache

Both zram and zcache use xvmalloc allocator. If xvmalloc
is compiled separately for both of them, we will get linker
error if they are both selected as "built-in". We can also
get linker error regarding missing xvmalloc symbols if zram
is not built.

So, we now compile xvmalloc separately and export its symbols
which are then used by both of zram and zcache.
