On a second thought, I think zsmalloc should stay in drivers/block/zram
since zram is now the only user of zsmalloc since zcache and ramster are
moving to another allocator. Secondly, zsmalloc does not provide
standard slab like interface, so should not be part of mm/. At the best,
it could be moved to lib/ with header in include/linux just like genalloc.
