Subject: [PATCH v3 09/10] zram: optimize memory operations with clear_page()/copy_page()

Some architectures provides architecture-specific, optimized version of
clear_page()/copy_page(), which may have better performance than
memset()/memcpy(). So use clear_page()/copy_page() to optimize zram
performance if possible.
