Current ZRAM just can store all pages even if the compression rate

control when it is running.
In my part, I did some test and record with ZRAM.  The compression rate
is about 40%.

This series of patches make ZRAM can just store the page that the
compressed size is smaller than a value.
With these patches, I set the value to 2048 and did the same test with
before.  The compression rate is about 20%.  The times of lowmemorykiller
also decreased.

I have an interest about the feature for a long time but didn't work on it
because I didn't have a good idea to implment it with generic approach
without layer violation. I will look into this after handling urgent works.

Thanks.
