mm/zswap: only support zswap_exclusive_loads_enabled

The !zswap_exclusive_loads_enabled mode will leave compressed copy in
the zswap tree and lru list after the folio swapin.

There are some disadvantages in this mode:
1. It's a waste of memory since there are two copies of data, one is
   folio, the other one is compressed data in zswap. And it's unlikely
   the compressed data is useful in the near future.

2. If that folio is dirtied, the compressed data must be not useful,
   but we don't know and don't invalidate the trashy memory in zswap.

3. It's not reclaimable from zswap shrinker since zswap_writeback_entry()
   will always return -EEXIST and terminate the shrinking process.

On the other hand, the only downside of zswap_exclusive_loads_enabled
is a little more cpu usage/latency when compression, and the same if
the folio is removed from swapcache or dirtied.

More explanation by Johannes on why we should consider exclusive load
as the default for zswap:

  Caching "swapout work" is helpful when the system is thrashing. Then
  recently swapped in pages might get swapped out again very soon. It
  certainly makes sense with conventional swap, because keeping a clean
  copy on the disk saves IO work and doesn't cost any additional memory.

  But with zswap, it's different. It saves some compression work on a
  thrashing page. But the act of keeping compressed memory contributes
  to a higher rate of thrashing. And that can cause IO in other places
  like zswap writeback and file memory.

And the A/B test results of the kernel build in tmpfs with limited memory
can support this theory:
