When zswap writeback is enabled and it fails compressing a given page,
the page is swapped out to the backing swap device.  This behavior
breaks the zswap's writeback LRU order, and hence users can experience
unexpected latency spikes.  If the page is compressed without failure,
but results in a size of PAGE_SIZE, the LRU order is kept, but the
decompression overhead for loading the page back on the later access is
unnecessary.

Keep the LRU order and optimize unnecessary decompression overheads in
the cases, by storing the original content in zpool as-is.

Does this have any effect on the movability of the given page? IOW, does page migration etc. still work when we store an ordinary page of an shmem/anon folio here?
