Hello Cai,

zswap can support multiple swapfiles. So we need to check
all zbud pool pages in zswap.

Version 2:
  * add *total_zbud_pages* in zbud to record all the pages in pools
  * move the updating of pool pages statistics to
    alloc_zbud_page/free_zbud_page to hide the details

Who protect race?
Yes, here the pool->pages_nr and also the total_zbud_pages are not protected.
I will re-do it.

I will change *total_zbud_pages* to atomic type.
And how about just add total_zbud_pages++ and leave pool->pages_nr in
its original place which already protected by pool->lock?
For *pool->pages_nr*, one way is to use pool->lock to protect. But I
think it is too heavy.
So does it ok to change pages_nr to atomic type too?
