Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 01/21] mm/zsmalloc: create new struct zsdesc

Currently zsmalloc reuses fields of struct page. As part of simplifying
struct page, create own type for zsmalloc called zsdesc.

Remove comments about how zsmalloc reuses fields of struct page, because
zsdesc uses more intuitive names.

Note that zsmalloc does not use PG_owner_priv_v1 after commit a41ec880aa7b
("zsmalloc: move huge compressed obj from page to zspage"). Thus only
document how zsmalloc uses PG_private flag.

It is very tempting to rearrange zsdesc, but the three words after flags
field are not available for zsmalloc. Add comments about that.

- *	page->index: links together all component pages of a zspage
- *		For the huge page, this is always 0, so we use this field
- *		to store handle.
- *	page->page_type: first object offset in a subpage of zspage

- * Usage of struct page flags:
- *	PG_private: identifies the first component page
- *	PG_owner_priv_1: identifies the huge component page
