zsmalloc: zs_page_migrate: skip unnecessary loops but not return -EBUSY if zspage is not inuse

Browse Source 
Getting -EBUSY from zs_page_migrate will make migration slow (retry) or
fail (zs_page_putback will schedule_work free_work, but it cannot ensure
the success).

I noticed this issue because my Kernel patched
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/5/28/113) that will remove retry in
__alloc_contig_migrate_range.

This retry will handle the -EBUSY because it will re-isolate the page
and re-call migrate_pages.  Without it will make cma_alloc fail at once
with -EBUSY.

According to the review from Minchan Kim in
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/5/28/113, I update the patch to skip
unnecessary loops but not return -EBUSY if zspage is not inuse.

Following is what I got with highalloc-performance in a vbox with 2 cpu
1G memory 512 zram as swap.  And the swappiness is set to 100.
