mm: zswap: remove redundant checks in zswap_cpu_comp_dead()

Patch series "zswap pool per-CPU acomp_ctx simplifications", v3.

This patchset first removes redundant checks on the acomp_ctx and its
"req" member in zswap_cpu_comp_dead().

Next, it persists the zswap pool's per-CPU acomp_ctx resources to last
until the pool is destroyed.  It then simplifies the per-CPU acomp_ctx
mutex locking in zswap_compress()/zswap_decompress().

Code comments added after allocation and before checking to deallocate the
per-CPU acomp_ctx's members, based on expected crypto API return values
and zswap changes this patchset makes.

Patch 2 is an independent submission of patch 23 from [1], to
facilitate merging.


This patch (of 2):

There are presently redundant checks on the per-CPU acomp_ctx and it's
"req" member in zswap_cpu_comp_dead(): redundant because they are
inconsistent with zswap_pool_create() handling of failure in allocating
the acomp_ctx, and with the expected NULL return value from the
acomp_request_alloc() API when it fails to allocate an acomp_req.

Fix these by converting to them to be NULL checks.

Add comments in zswap_cpu_comp_prepare() clarifying the expected return
values of the crypto_alloc_acomp_node() and acomp_request_alloc() API.
