[PATCHv2] zram: use notify_free to account all free notifications

[Sergey Senozhatsky]

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 f4659d8e620d08 (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.

Change zram_free_page() to return a bool status, indicating if zs_free()
has happened. So we can use `notify_free' to account the number of pages
freed by zram_bio_discard() and zram_slot_free_notify().

This means that 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.
