This is a preparation for managing compression pages in a cache-like manner, instead of asking the allocator each time. The common allocation and free wrappers are introduced and are functionally equivalent to the current code. The freeing helpers need to be carefully placed where the last reference is dropped. This is either after directly allocating (error handling) or when there are no other users of the pages (after copying the contents). It's safe to not use the helper and use put_page() that will handle the reference count. Not using the helper means there's lower number of pages that could be reused without passing them back to allocator.
