UPSTREAM: zram: use notify_free to account all free notifications 

(cherry-pick from commit 015254daf1)

`notify_free' device attribute accounts the number of slot free
notifications and internally represents the number of zram_free_page()
calls.  Slot free notifications are sent only when device is used as a
swap device, hence `notify_free' is used only for swap devices.  Since
f4659d8e62 (zram: support REQ_DISCARD) ZRAM handles yet another one
free notification (also via zram_free_page() call) -- REQ_DISCARD
requests, which are sent by a filesystem, whenever some data blocks are
discarded.  However, there is no way to know the number of notifications
in the latter case.

Use `notify_free' to account the number of pages freed by
zram_bio_discard() and zram_slot_free_notify().  Depending on usage
scenario `notify_free' represents:

 a) the number of pages freed because of slot free notifications, which is
   equal to the number of swap_slot_free_notify() calls, so there is no
   behaviour change

 b) the number of pages freed because of REQ_DISCARD notifications

Description:
The notify_free file is read-only and specifies the number of
swap slot free notifications received by this device. These
notifications are sent to a swap block device when a swap slot
is freed. This statistic is applicable only when this disk is
being used as a swap disk.
The notify_free file is read-only. Depending on device usage
scenario it may account a) the number of pages freed because
of swap slot free notifications or b) the number of pages freed
because of REQ_DISCARD requests sent by bio. The former ones
are sent to a swap block device when a swap slot is freed, which
implies that this disk is being used as a swap disk. The latter
ones are sent by filesystem mounted with discard option,
whenever some data blocks are getting discarded.
