add extra free kbytes tunable

Add a userspace visible knob to tell the VM to keep an extra amount
of memory free, by increasing the gap between each zone's min and
low watermarks.

This is useful for realtime applications that call system
calls and have a bound on the number of allocations that happen
in any short time period.  In this application, extra_free_kbytes
would be left at an amount equal to or larger than than the
maximum number of allocations that happen in any burst.

It may also be useful to reduce the memory use of virtual
machines (temporarily?), in a way that does not cause memory
fragmentation like ballooning does.

[ccross]
Revived for use on old kernels where no other solution exists.
The tunable will be removed on kernels that do better at avoiding
direct reclaim.

ARM: kconfig: select HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS for CPUv6+ && MMU

Modern ARM CPUs can perform efficient unaligned memory accesses in
hardware and this feature is relied up on by code such as the dcache
word-at-a-time name hashing.

mm: remove compressed copy from zram in-memory

Swap subsystem does lazy swap slot free with expecting the page would be
swapped out again so we can avoid unnecessary write.

But the problem in in-memory swap(ex, zram) is that it consumes memory
space until vm_swap_full(ie, used half of all of swap device) condition
meet.  It could be bad if we use multiple swap device, small in-memory
swap and big storage swap or in-memory swap alone.

This patch makes swap subsystem free swap slot as soon as swap-read is
completed and make the swapcache page dirty so the page should be
written out the swap device to reclaim it.  It means we never lose it.

I tested this patch with kernel compile workload.

1. before

   compile time : 9882.42
   zram max wasted space by fragmentation: 13471881 byte
   memory space consumed by zram: 174227456 byte
   the number of slot free notify: 206684

2. after

   compile time : 9653.90
   zram max wasted space by fragmentation: 11805932 byte
   memory space consumed by zram: 154001408 byte
   the number of slot free notify: 426972
