Subject: [RFC][PATCHv4 6/7] zsmalloc: account the number of compacted pages

Compaction returns back to zram the number of migrated objects,
which is quite uninformative -- we have objects of different
sizes so user space cannot obtain any valuable data from that
number. Change compaction to operate in terms of pages and
return back to compaction issuer the number of pages that
were freed during compaction. So from now on `num_compacted'
column in zram<id>/mm_stat represents more meaningful value:
the number of freed (compacted) pages.

Update documentation.
