3f0e131221 zpool: add zpool_has_pool()
This series makes creation of the zpool and compressor dynamic, so that
they can be changed at runtime.  This makes using/configuring zswap
easier, as before this zswap had to be configured at boot time, using boot
params.

This uses a single list to track both the zpool and compressor together,
although Seth had mentioned an alternative which is to track the zpools
and compressors using separate lists.  In the most common case, only a
single zpool and single compressor, using one list is slightly simpler
than using two lists, and for the uncommon case of multiple zpools and/or
compressors, using one list is slightly less simple (and uses slightly
more memory, probably) than using two lists.

This patch (of 4):

Add zpool_has_pool() function, indicating if the specified type of zpool
is available (i.e.  zsmalloc or zbud).  This allows checking if a pool is
available, without actually trying to allocate it, similar to
crypto_has_alg().

This is used by a following patch to zswap that enables the dynamic
runtime creation of zswap zpools.

df69f52d99 zpool: remove no-op module init/exit
Remove zpool_init() and zpool_exit(); they do nothing other than print
"loaded" and "unloaded".

479305fd71 zpool: remove zpool_evict()
Remove zpool_evict() helper function.  As zbud is currently the only
zpool implementation that supports eviction, add zpool and zpool_ops
references to struct zbud_pool and directly call zpool_ops->evict(zpool,
handle) on eviction.

Currently zpool provides the zpool_evict helper which locks the zpool
list lock and searches through all pools to find the specific one
matching the caller, and call the corresponding zpool_ops->evict
function.  However, this is unnecessary, as the zbud pool can simply
keep a reference to the zpool that created it, as well as the zpool_ops,
and directly call the zpool_ops->evict function, when it needs to evict
a page.  This avoids a spinlock and list search in zpool for each
eviction.

cf41f5f496 zpool: change pr_info to pr_debug
Change the pr_info() calls to pr_debug().  There's no need for the extra
verbosity in the log.  Also change the msg formats to be consistent.

3eba0c6a56 mm/zpool: add name argument to create zpool
Currently the underlay of zpool: zsmalloc/zbud, do not know who creates
them.  There is not a method to let zsmalloc/zbud find which caller they
belong to.

Now we want to add statistics collection in zsmalloc.  We need to name the
debugfs dir for each pool created.  The way suggested by Minchan Kim is to
use a name passed by caller(such as zram) to create the zsmalloc pool.

    /sys/kernel/debug/zsmalloc/zram0

This patch adds an argument `name' to zs_create_pool() and other related
functions.

137f8cff50 mm/zpool: use prefixed module loading
To avoid potential format string expansion via module parameters, do not
use the zpool type directly in request_module() without a format string.
Additionally, to avoid arbitrary modules being loaded via zpool API
(e.g.  via the zswap_zpool_type module parameter) add a "zpool-" prefix
to the requested module, as well as module aliases for the existing
zpool types (zbud and zsmalloc).

af8d417a04 mm/zpool: implement common zpool api to zbud/zsmalloc
Add zpool api.

zpool provides an interface for memory storage, typically of compressed
memory.  Users can select what backend to use; currently the only
implementations are zbud, a low density implementation with up to two
compressed pages per storage page, and zsmalloc, a higher density
implementation with multiple compressed pages per storage page.
