zswap compresses swap pages into a dynamically allocated RAM-based
memory pool. The memory pool should be zbud, z3fold or zsmalloc.
All of them will allocate unmovable pages. It will increase the
number of unmovable page blocks that will bad for anti-fragment.
zsmalloc support page migration if request movable page:
handle = zs_malloc(zram->mem_pool, comp_len,
GFP_NOIO | __GFP_HIGHMEM |
__GFP_MOVABLE);
This commit adds module parameter malloc_force_movable to enable
or disable zs_malloc force allocate block with gfp
__GFP_HIGHMEM | __GFP_MOVABLE (disabled by default).
Following part is test log in a pc that has 8G memory and 2G swap.

You can see that the number of unmovable page blocks is decreased
when malloc_force_movable is enabled.
