[RFC PATCH v2 2/7] mm: zswap: remove page reclaim logic from zbud

[Domenico Cerasuolo <cerasuolodomenico@gmail.com>]

With the recent enhancement to zswap enabling direct page writeback, the
need for the shrink code in zbud has become obsolete. As a result, this
commit removes the page reclaim logic from zbud entirely.

-/**
- * zbud_reclaim_page() - evicts allocations from a pool page and frees it
- * @pool:	pool from which a page will attempt to be evicted
- * @retries:	number of pages on the LRU list for which eviction will
- *		be attempted before failing
- *
- * zbud reclaim is different from normal system reclaim in that the reclaim is
- * done from the bottom, up.  This is because only the bottom layer, zbud, has
- * information on how the allocations are organized within each zbud page. This
- * has the potential to create interesting locking situations between zbud and
- * the user, however.
- *
- * To avoid these, this is how zbud_reclaim_page() should be called:
- *
- * The user detects a page should be reclaimed and calls zbud_reclaim_page().
- * zbud_reclaim_page() will remove a zbud page from the pool LRU list and call
- * the user-defined eviction handler with the pool and handle as arguments.
- *
- * If the handle can not be evicted, the eviction handler should return
- * non-zero. zbud_reclaim_page() will add the zbud page back to the
- * appropriate list and try the next zbud page on the LRU up to
- * a user defined number of retries.
- *
- * If the handle is successfully evicted, the eviction handler should
- * return 0 _and_ should have called zbud_free() on the handle. zbud_free()
- * contains logic to delay freeing the page if the page is under reclaim,
- * as indicated by the setting of the PG_reclaim flag on the underlying page.
- *
- * If all buddies in the zbud page are successfully evicted, then the
- * zbud page can be freed.
- *
- * Returns: 0 if page is successfully freed, otherwise -EINVAL if there are
- * no pages to evict or an eviction handler is not registered, -EAGAIN if
- * the retry limit was hit.
