Subject: [PATCH 6/6] zram: writeback throttle
On small memory system, there are lots of write IO so if we use
flash device as swap, there would be serious flash wearout.
To overcome the problem, system developers need to design write
limitation strategy to guarantee flash health for entire product life.
This patch creates a new konb "writeback_limit" on zram. With that,
if current writeback IO count(/sys/block/zramX/io_stat) excceds
the limitation, zram stops further writeback until admin can reset
the limit.

The bd_stat file is read-only and represents backing device's
statistics (bd_count, bd_reads, bd_writes.) in a format
similar to block layer statistics file format.

+What: /sys/block/zram<id>/writeback_limit
+Date: November 2018
+Contact: Minchan Kim <minchan@...nel.org>
+Description:
+ The writeback_limit file is read-write and specifies the maximum
+ amount of writeback ZRAM can do. The limit could be changed
+ in run time and "0" means disable the limit.
+ No limit is the initial state.
