Subject: [PATCH -next 2/3] mm/zswap: delay the initializaton of zswap until the first enablement

In the initialization of zswap, about 18MB memory will be allocated for
zswap_pool in my machine. Since not all users use zswap, the memory may be
wasted. Save the memory for these users by delaying the initialization of
zswap to first enablement.
