I don't like that we are now using acomp_ctx->dstmem and
acomp_ctx->mutex now for purposes other than what the naming suggests.

How about removing these two fields from acomp_ctx, and directly using
zswap_dstmem and zswap_mutex in both the load and store paths, rename
them, and add proper comments above their definitions that they are
for generic percpu buffering on the load and store paths?
