That threshold can be another tunable in zramX/allocator_tunables sysfs
knob and struct zs_tunables.

But overall it sounds like a bigger project for some time next year.
We already have zs_compact() sysfs knob, so user-space can invoke it
as often as it wants to (not aware if anyone does btw), maybe new
compaction should be something slightly different. I don't have any
ideas yet. One way or the other it still can use the same sysfs knob :)
