I suggested to remove shrinker compaction but while I review your
first patch in this thread, I thought we need upper-bound to
compact zspage so background work can bail out for latency easily.
IOW, the work could give up the job. In such case, we might need
fall-back scheme to continue the job. And I think that could be
a shrinker.

What do you think?
