Tested with your patches on top of linux-next as of yesterday, however
starting at commit fa812e869a6fe7495a17150bb2639075081ef709 ("mm/zswap.c:
delete an error message for a failed memory allocation in
zswap_dstmem_prepare()"), since the "mm: per-lruvec slab stats" patch
series breaks everything ;)
