[PATCH] zswap: change zswap's default allocator to zsmalloc

[Nhat Pham <nphamcs@gmail.com>]

Out of zswap's 3 allocators, zsmalloc is the clear superior in terms of
memory utilization, both in theory and as observed in practice, with its
high storage density and low internal fragmentation. zsmalloc is also
more actively developed and maintained, since it is the allocator of
choice for zswap for many users, as well as the only allocator for zram.

A historical objection to the selection of zsmalloc as the default
allocator for zswap is its lack of writeback capability. However, this
has changed, with the zsmalloc writeback patchset, and the subsequent
zswap LRU refactor. With this, there is not a lot of good reasons to
keep zbud, an otherwise inferior allocator, as the default instead of
zswap.

This patch changes the default allocator to zsmalloc. The only exception
is on settings without MMU, in which case zbud will remain as the
default.
