[PATCH v5 4/5] mm/zswap: delay the initializaton of zswap until the first enablement

[Liu Shixin]

In the initialization of zswap, about 18MB memory will be allocated for
zswap_pool in my machine. Since not all users use zswap, the memory may be
wasted. Save the memory for these users by delaying the initialization of
zswap to first enablement.
