zram: replace global tb_lock with fine grain lock

Currently, we use a rwlock tb_lock to protect concurrent access to the
whole zram meta table.  However, according to the actual access model,
there is only a small chance for upper user to access the same
table[index], so the current lock granularity is too big.

The idea of optimization is to change the lock granularity from whole
meta table to per table entry (table -> table[index]), so that we can
protect concurrent access to the same table[index], meanwhile allow the
maximum concurrency.

With this in mind, several kinds of locks which could be used as a
per-entry lock were tested and compared:

Test environment:
x86-64 Intel Core2 Q8400, system memory 4GB, Ubuntu 12.04,
kernel v3.15.0-rc3 as base, zram with 4 max_comp_streams LZO.

iozone test:
iozone -t 4 -R -r 16K -s 200M -I +Z
(1GB zram with ext4 filesystem, take the average of 10 tests, KB/s)

      Test       base      CAS    spinlock    rwlock   bit_spinlock

To enhance the possibility of access the same table[index] concurrently,
set zram a small disksize(10MB) and let threads run with large loop
count.

fio test:
fio --bs=32k --randrepeat=1 --randseed=100 --refill_buffers
--scramble_buffers=1 --direct=1 --loops=3000 --numjobs=4
--filename=/dev/zram0 --name=seq-write --rw=write --stonewall
--name=seq-read --rw=read --stonewall --name=seq-readwrite
--rw=rw --stonewall --name=rand-readwrite --rw=randrw --stonewall
(10MB zram raw block device, take the average of 10 tests, KB/s)

    Test     base     CAS    spinlock    rwlock  bit_spinlock
-------------------------------------------------------------
seq-write   933789   999357   1003298    995961   1001958
 seq-read  5634130  6577930   6380861   6243912   6230006
   seq-rw  1405687  1638117   1640256   1633903   1634459
  rand-rw  1386119  1614664   1617211   1609267   1612471

All the optimization methods show a higher performance than the base,
however, it is hard to say which method is the most appropriate.

On the other hand, zram is mostly used on small embedded system, so we
don't want to increase any memory footprint.

This patch pick the bit_spinlock method, pack object size and page_flag
into an unsigned long table.value, so as to not increase any memory
overhead on both 32-bit and 64-bit system.

On the third hand, even though different kinds of locks have different
performances, we can ignore this difference, because: if zram is used as
zram swapfile, the swap subsystem can prevent concurrent access to the
same swapslot; if zram is used as zram-blk for set up filesystem on it,
the upper filesystem and the page cache also prevent concurrent access
of the same block mostly.  So we can ignore the different performances
among locks.
