Subject: [PATCH -next v8 3/3] mm/zswap: delay the initialization of zswap

Since some users may not use zswap, the zswap_pool is wasted. Save memory
by delaying the initialization of zswap until enabled.

The pattern here looks a bit odd. Can you split the code that
the ZSWAP_INIT_SUCCEED case falls through into a helper, then just
assign ret inside the switch statement, break out and do a single
unlock and return?

missing space after the initial and before the last * here.

But except for these nitpicks this version looks good to me now.
