All zswap entries will take a reference of zswap_pool when
zswap_store(), and drop it when free. Change it to use the
percpu_ref is better for scalability performance.

Although percpu_ref use a bit more memory which should be ok
for our use case, since we almost have only one zswap_pool to
be using. The performance gain is for zswap_store/load hotpath.

Testing kernel build (32 threads) in tmpfs with memory.max=2GB.
(zswap shrinker and writeback enabled with one 50GB swapfile,
on a 128 CPUs x86-64 machine, below is the average of 5 runs)

real    63.20        63.12
user    1061.75      1062.95

Idea is straightforward + code looks solid to me FWIW, so:

Ah nice - this is actually even clearer :) For some reason I missed
it, my apologies.
