From: Xiao Guangrong <xiaoguangrong@tencent.com>

Currently we have two behaviors if all threads are busy to do compression,
the main thread mush wait one of them becoming free if @compress-wait-thread
set to on or the main thread can directly return without wait and post
the page out as normal one

Both of them have its profits and short-comes, however, if the bandwidth is
not limited extremely so that compression can not use out all of it bandwidth,
at the same time, the migration process is easily throttled if we posted too
may pages as normal pages. None of them can work properly under this case

In order to use the bandwidth more effectively, we introduce the third
behavior, compress-wait-thread-adaptive, which make the main thread wait
if there is no bandwidth left or let the page go out as normal page if there
has enough bandwidth to make sure the migration process will not be
throttled
