mm/zswap: remove the memcpy if acomp is not sleepable 

Most compressors are actually CPU-based and won't sleep during compression
and decompression.  We should remove the redundant memcpy for them.

This patch checks if the algorithm is sleepable by testing the
CRYPTO_ALG_ASYNC algorithm flag.

Generally speaking, async and sleepable are semantically similar but not
equal.  But for compress drivers, they are basically equal at least due to
the below facts.

Firstly, scompress drivers - crypto/deflate.c, lz4.c, zstd.c, lzo.c etc
have no sleep.  Secondly, zRAM has been using these scompress drivers for
years in atomic contexts, and never worried those drivers going to sleep.

One exception is that an async driver can sometimes still return
synchronously per Herbert's clarification.  In this case, we are still
having a redundant memcpy.  But we can't know if one particular acomp
request will sleep or not unless crypto can expose more details for each
specific request from offload drivers.
