crypto: scomp - remove memcpy if sg_nents is 1 and pages are lowmem
while sg_nents is 1, which is always true for the current kernel as the only user - zswap is this case, we might have a chance to remove memcpy, thus improve the performance. Though sg_nents is 1, its buffer might cross two pages. If those pages are highmem, we have no cheap way to map them to contiguous virtual address because kmap doesn't support more than one page (kmap single higmem page could be still expensive for tlb) and vmap is expensive. So we also test and enure page is not highmem in order to safely use page_to_virt before removing the memcpy. The good news is that in the most majority of cases, we are lowmem, and we are always lowmem in those modern and popular hardware.
