mm: zswap: invaldiate entry after writeback
When an entry started writeback, it used to be invalidated with ref count logic alone, meaning that it would stay on the tree until all references were put. The problem with this behavior is that as soon as the writeback started, the ownership of the data held by the entry is passed to the swapcache and should not be left in zswap too. Currently there are no known issues because of this, but this change explicitly invalidates an entry that started writeback to reduce opportunities for future bugs. This patch is a follow up on the series titled "mm: zswap: move writeback LRU from zpool to zswap" + commit f090b7949768("mm: zswap: support exclusive loads").
