This series fixes and improves the zswap global shrinker (shrink_worker()):
Patch 1: Fix missing global shrinker when memory cgroup is disabled.
Patch 2: Extend shrink_memcg() to support batch writeback and thereby improving
         the writeback efficiency in the shrink_worker() and zswap_store() paths.

v3->v4:
    - Remove the nr_to_scan parameter from shrink_memcg() and cap the per-node
      scan count at SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX to avoid writeback unfairness across NUMA
      nodes caused by a shared global scan quota.
v2->v3:
    - Added user impact to the commit 1 message.
    - Updated writeback batch size to SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX to avoid introducing new
      magic macros. And enabled batched shrinking in the zswap_store() path as well.
    - Re-benchmarked performance data with the updated patch.
v1->v2:
    - Add a reschedule check to the -ENOENT return path in shrink_memcg() to
      handle the theoretical issue of prolonged heavy concurrent zswap stores.
    - Remove the shrink_memcg() return value changes part, and include a more
       detailed test report in the commit message.
