mm: remove compressed copy from zram in-memory

Browse source 
Swap subsystem does lazy swap slot free with expecting the page would be
swapped out again so we can avoid unnecessary write.

But the problem in in-memory swap(ex, zram) is that it consumes memory
space until vm_swap_full(ie, used half of all of swap device) condition
meet.  It could be bad if we use multiple swap device, small in-memory
swap and big storage swap or in-memory swap alone.

This patch makes swap subsystem free swap slot as soon as swap-read is
completed and make the swapcache page dirty so the page should be
written out the swap device to reclaim it.  It means we never lose it.

I tested this patch with kernel compile workload.

1. before

   compile time : 9882.42
   zram max wasted space by fragmentation: 13471881 byte
   memory space consumed by zram: 174227456 byte
   the number of slot free notify: 206684

2. after

   compile time : 9653.90
   zram max wasted space by fragmentation: 11805932 byte
   memory space consumed by zram: 154001408 byte
   the number of slot free notify: 426972
