Subject: frontswap: skip frontswap_ops init if zswap init failed.
Date: Sat, 27 Aug 2022 18:45:56 +0800

Patch series "Delay the initializaton of zswap", v3.

In the initialization of zswap, about 18MB memory will be allocated for
zswap_pool.  Since not all users use zswap, the memory may be wasted. 
Save the memory for these users by delaying the initialization of zswap to
first enablement.  


This patch (of 5):

If zswap initial failed or has not been initial, frontswap_ops will be
NULL.  In such situation, swap device would enable failed with following
stack trace:
