Patch series "zram clean up", v2.
This patchset aims to clean up zram .
[1] clean up multiple pages's bvec handling.
[2] clean up partial IO handling
[3-6] clean up zram via using accessor and removing pointless structure.
With [2-6] applied, we can get a few hundred bytes as well as huge
readibility enhance.

This patch (of 6):
Johannes Thumshirn reported system goes the panic when using NVMe over
Fabrics loopback target with zram.
The reason is zram expects each bvec in bio contains a single page
but nvme can attach a huge bulk of pages attached to the bio's bvec
so that zram's index arithmetic could be wrong so that out-of-bound
access makes system panic.
[1] in mainline solved solved the problem by limiting max_sectors with
SECTORS_PER_PAGE but it makes zram slow because bio should split with
each pages so this patch makes zram aware of multiple pages in a bvec
so it could solve without any regression(ie, bio split).

bounds accesses

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
