[PATCH/RESEND v3 0/5] z3fold: optimizations and fixes

[Vitaly Wool]

This is a new take on z3fold optimizations/fixes consolidation, revised after comments from Dan ([1] - [6]).
The coming patches are to be applied on top of the following commit:

Author: zhong jiang <zhongjiang@xxxxxxxxxx>
Date:   Tue Dec 20 11:53:40 2016 +1100

    mm/z3fold.c: limit first_num to the actual range of possible buddy indexes

All the z3fold patches newer than this one are considered obsolete and should be substituted with this patch series. The coming patches have been verified with linux-next tree.
