Subject: [PATCH 2/2] mm/zswap: change zswap_pool kref to percpu_ref

All zswap entries will take a reference of zswap_pool when
zswap_store(), and drop it when free. Change it to use the
percpu_ref is better for scalability performance.

Testing kernel build in tmpfs with memory.max=2GB
(zswap shrinker and writeback enabled with one 50GB swapfile).
