[PATCH 3/3] z3fold: add compaction worker

From: Vitaly Wool
Date: Wed Oct 19 2016 - 12:37:04 EST


This patch implements compaction worker thread for z3fold. This
worker does not free up any pages directly but it allows for a
denser placement of compressed objects which results in less
actual pages consumed and higher compression ratio therefore.

This patch has been checked with the latest Linus's tree.
