It is also a great simplification.

Just curious, any reason to change the relative ordering of members
here? It produces a couple more lines of diff :)

Why are we removing this debug print?

Now that next_shrink has nothing to do with zswap pools, it feels weird
that we are using zswap_pools_lock for its synchronization. Does it make
sense to have a separate lock for it just for semantic purposes?

"pool" is still being used here.

I think we need a new label here to call cpuhp_remove_multi_state(), but
apparently this is missing from the current code for some reason.

Do we need to call list_lru_destroy() here? I know it is currently being
called if list_lru_init_memcg() fails, but I fail to understand why. It
seems like list_lru_destroy() will do nothing anyway.
