The RB tree shows some contribution to the swap fault
long tail latency due to two factors:
1) RB tree requires re-balance from time to time.
2) The zswap RB tree has a tree level spin lock protecting
the tree access.
The swap cache is using xarray. The break down the swap
cache access does not have the similar long time as zswap
RB tree.
Moving the zswap entry to xarray enable read side
take read RCU lock only.
The first patch adds the xarray alongside the RB tree.
There is some debug check asserting the xarray agrees with
the RB tree results.
The second patch removes the zwap RB tree.
I expect to merge the zswap rb tree spin lock with the xarray
lock in the follow up changes.
I can surely use some help in reviewing and testing.
