[PATCH v4 2/3] mm/zswap: remove the memcpy if acomp is not sleepable

Most compressors are actually CPU-based and won't sleep during
compression and decompression. We should remove the redundant
memcpy for them.
This patch checks the algorithm flags CRYPTO_ALG_ASYNC to know
if acomp is sleepable.
Generally speaking, async and sleepable are semantically similar
but not equal. But for compress drivers, they are actually equal
at least due to the below facts.
Firstly, scompress drivers - crypto/deflate.c, lz4.c, zstd.c,
lzo.c etc have no sleep. Secondly, zRAM has been using these
scompress drivers for years in atomic contexts, and never
worried those drivers going to sleep.
