Sure, I understood.

This somehow makes me scratch my head and ask if we really want to
continue using per-CPU steams. We previously (many years ago) had
a list of idle compression streams, which would do compression in
preemptible context and we would have only one zs_malloc handle
allocation path, which would do direct reclaim (when needed)
