We have something similar at Google, but because we use zswap without
a backing swapfile, we make those pages unevictable. For the upstream
code, the pages will go to a backing swapfile, which arguably violates
the LRU ordering, but may be the correct thing to do. There was a
recent upstream attempt to solidify storing those incompressible pages
in zswap in their uncompressed form to retain the LRU ordering.

If you want, feel free to start a discussion about this separately,
it's out of context for this patch series.

Thanks!
