If I recall correctly, the defined(CONFIG_ZPOOL) condition is
only needed for the lock_zspage() call in zs_reclaim_page().

You might be able to get away with just
#ifdef CONFIG_COMPACTION if you're removing writeback.

Do fact-check me of course - try to build with these CONFIGs turned
off and see. I'm surprised kernel test robot has not complained about
unused static function lock_zspage() in the case
CONFIG_ZPOOL && !CONFIG_COMPACTION
