mm/zswap.c: allow handling just same-value filled pages

Browse Source 
Zswap has an ability to efficiently store same-value filled pages, which
can be turned on and off using the "same_filled_pages_enabled"
parameter.

However, there is currently no way to enable just this (lightweight)
functionality, while not making use of the whole compressed page storage
machinery.

Add a "non_same_filled_pages_enabled" parameter which allows disabling
handling of pages that aren't same-value filled.  This way zswap can be
run in such lightweight same-value filled pages only mode.

When zswap same-filled page identification is disabled at runtime, it will stop
checking for the same-value filled pages during store operation. However, the
existing pages which are marked as same-value filled pages remain stored
unchanged in zswap until they are either loaded or invalidated.
checking for the same-value filled pages during store operation.
In other words, every page will be then considered non-same-value filled.
However, the existing pages which are marked as same-value filled pages remain
stored unchanged in zswap until they are either loaded or invalidated.
In some circumstances it might be advantageous to make use of just the zswap
ability to efficiently store same-filled pages without enabling the whole
compressed page storage.
In this case the handling of non-same-value pages by zswap (enabled by default)
can be disabled by setting the ``non_same_filled_pages_enabled`` attribute
to 0, e.g. ``zswap.non_same_filled_pages_enabled=0``.
It can also be enabled and disabled at runtime using the sysfs
``non_same_filled_pages_enabled`` attribute, e.g.::
echo 1 > /sys/module/zswap/parameters/non_same_filled_pages_enabled
Disabling both ``zswap.same_filled_pages_enabled`` and
``zswap.non_same_filled_pages_enabled`` effectively disables accepting any new
pages by zswap.
To prevent zswap from shrinking pool when zswap is full and there's a high
pressure on swap (this will result in flipping pages in and out zswap pool
