42c06a0e8e mm: kill frontswap
The only user of frontswap is zswap, and has been for a long time.  Have
swap call into zswap directly and remove the indirection.

00cba6b60f docs/admin-guide/mm: remove useless markup
It is enough to use a file name to cross-reference another rst document.

Jon says:
  The right things will happen in the HTML output, readers of the
  plain-text will know immediately where to go, and we don't have to add
  the label clutter.

Drop reference markup and unnecessary labels and use plain file names.

Writeback has been implemented for zsmalloc, so this warning no longer
holds.

cb325ddde5 mm/zswap.c: allow handling just same-value filled pages
Zswap has an ability to efficiently store same-value filled pages, which
can be turned on and off using the "same_filled_pages_enabled"
parameter.

However, there is currently no way to enable just this (lightweight)
functionality, while not making use of the whole compressed page storage
machinery.

Add a "non_same_filled_pages_enabled" parameter which allows disabling
handling of pages that aren't same-value filled.  This way zswap can be
run in such lightweight same-value filled pages only mode.

ad782c48df Documentation/vm: move user guides to admin-guide/mm/
Most memory management user guide documents are in 'admin-guide/mm/',
but two of those are in 'vm/'.  This moves the two docs into
'admin-guide/mm' for easier documents finding.
