Subject: [PATCH] mm: zswap: support exclusive loads

Commit 71024cb4a0bf ("frontswap: remove frontswap_tmem_exclusive_gets")
removed support for exclusive loads from frontswap as it was not used.

Bring back exclusive loads support to frontswap by adding an
exclusive_loads argument to frontswap_ops. Add support for exclusive
loads to zswap behind CONFIG_ZSWAP_EXCLUSIVE_LOADS.

Refactor zswap entry invalidation in zswap_frontswap_invalidate_page()
into zswap_invalidate_entry() to reuse it in zswap_frontswap_load().

With exclusive loads, we avoid having two copies of the same page in
memory (compressed & uncompressed) after faulting it in from zswap. On
the other hand, if the page is to be reclaimed again without being
dirtied, it will be re-compressed. Compression is not usually slow, and
a page that was just faulted in is less likely to be reclaimed again
soon.
