Subject: [PATCH 2/4] zswap: Enable or disable sharing of duplicate pages at
 runtime

Enable or disable the sharing of duplicate zswap pages at runtime.
To enable sharing of duplicate zswap pages set 'same_page_sharing' sysfs
attribute. By default it is disabled.

In zswap_frontswap_store(), duplicate pages are searched in zswap only
when same_page_sharing is set. When zswap same page sharing is
disabled at runtime it will stop sharing the new duplicate pages. However,
the existing duplicate pages will keep sharing the compressed memory pool
until they are faulted back or invalidated.
