[PATCH v4 3/3] zram: implement rw_page operation of zram

This patch implements rw_page operation for zram block device.

I implemented the feature in zram and tested it.
Test bed was the G2, LG electronic mobile device, whtich has msm8974
processor and 2GB memory.
With a memory allocation test program consuming memory, the system
generates swap.
And operating time of swap_write_page() was measured.

--------------------------------------------------
| | operating time | improvement |
| | (20 runs average) | |
--------------------------------------------------
|with patch | 1061.15 us | +2.4% |
--------------------------------------------------
|without patch| 1087.35 us | |
--------------------------------------------------

Each test(with paged_io,with BIO) result set shows normal distribution
and has equal variance.
I mean the two values are valid result to compare.
I can say operation with paged I/O(without BIO) is faster 2.4% with
confidence level 95%.
