[ Upstream commit 16e536ef47f567289a5699abee9ff7bb304bc12d ]

/sys/../zswap/stored_pages keeps rising in a zswap test with
"zswap.max_pool_percent=0" parameter.  But it should not compress or
store pages any more since there is no space in the compressed pool.

Reproduce steps:
  1. Boot kernel with "zswap.enabled=1"
  2. Set the max_pool_percent to 0
      # echo 0 > /sys/module/zswap/parameters/max_pool_percent
  3. Do memory stress test to see if some pages have been compressed
      # stress --vm 1 --vm-bytes $mem_available"M" --timeout 60s
  4. Watching the 'stored_pages' number increasing or not

The root cause is:

  When zswap_max_pool_percent is set to 0 via kernel parameter,
  zswap_is_full() will always return true due to zswap_shrink().  But if
  the shinking is able to reclain a page successfully the code then
  proceeds to compressing/storing another page, so the value of
  stored_pages will keep changing.

To solve the issue, this patch adds a zswap_is_full() check again after
  zswap_shrink() to make sure it's now under the max_pool_percent, and to
  not compress/store if we reached the limit.
