[PATCH] frontswap: don't call ->init if no ops are registered

[PATCH] frontswap: don't call ->init if no ops are registered

[Christoph Hellwig]

If no frontswap module (i.e. zswap) was registered, frontswap_ops will
be NULL. In such situation, swapon crashes with the following stack
trace:

Thanks.  I dropped the v4 "Delay the initializaton of zswap" series. 
I'll push the result out later today.

Liu, can you please prepare a new version of your "Delay the
initializaton of zswap" series, based on the mm-unstable branch of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm?
