Subject: [PATCH 2/8] mm: frontswap: lazy initialization to allow tmem backends to build/run as modules
From: Dan Magenheimer <dan.magenheimer@...cle.com>
With the goal of allowing tmem backends (zcache, ramster, Xen tmem) to be
built/loaded as modules rather than built-in and enabled by a boot parameter,
this patch provides "lazy initialization", allowing backends to register to
frontswap even after swapon was run. Before a backend registers all calls
to init are recorded and the creation of tmem_pools delayed until a backend
registers or until a frontswap put is attempted.

[v1: Fixes per Seth Jennings suggestions]
[v2: Removed FRONTSWAP_HAS_.. ]
[v3: Fix up per Bob Liu <lliubbo@...il.com> recommendations]
