Code Issues Proposed changes

Switch ZSWAP_ZPOOL to zsmalloc

Browse Source 
The z3fold compressed pages allocator is on it's way
out of the Linux kernel and running this on newer
systems will give you an error:

+ lib/host:configure_zswap:45              :   echo z3fold
z3fold
tee: /sys/module/zswap/parameters/zpool: No such file or directory

So, get ahead of things and move to the much faster
recommended by the kernel developers alternative.
