Subject: mm/zsmalloc.c: drop ZSMALLOC_PGTABLE_MAPPING
While I was doing zram testing, I found sometimes decompression failed
since the compression buffer was corrupted. With investigation, I found
below commit calls cond_resched unconditionally so it could make a problem
in atomic context if the task is reschedule.

We can fix this by removing the ZSMALLOC_PGTABLE_MAPPING feature (whcih
contains the offending calling code) from zsmalloc.
Even though this option showed some amount improvement(e.g., 30%) in some
arm32 platforms, it has been headache to maintain since it have abused
APIs[1](e.g., unmap_kernel_range in atomic context).
Since we are approaching to deprecate 32bit machines and already made the
config option available for only builtin build since v5.8, lastly it has
been not default option in zsmalloc, it's time to drop the option for
better maintainance.

- bool "Use page table mapping to access object in zsmalloc"
- depends on ZSMALLOC=y
- help
- By default, zsmalloc uses a copy-based object mapping method to
- access allocations that span two pages. However, if a particular
- architecture (ex, ARM) performs VM mapping faster than copying,
- then you should select this. This causes zsmalloc to use page table
- mapping rather than copying for object mapping.

- You can check speed with zsmalloc benchmark:
