Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 1/4] zbud: use page ref counter for zbud pages
Use page reference counter for zbud pages. The ref counter replaces
zbud_header.under_reclaim flag and ensures that zbud page won't be freed
when zbud_free() is called during reclaim. It allows implementation of
additional reclaim paths.
The page count is incremented when:
- a handle is created and passed to zswap (in zbud_alloc()),
- user-supplied eviction callback is called (in zbud_reclaim_page()).
