can this VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() condition ever be true?

hm... this VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(dst_page) is sort of confusing. under what
circumstances it can be true?

a minor nit, it took me some time (need some coffee I guess) to
correctly parse this macro wrapper

		VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(putback_zspage(pool, class,
			dst_page) == ZS_EMPTY, dst_page);

may be do it like:
		fullness = putback_zspage(pool, class, dst_page);
		VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(fullness == ZS_EMPTY, dst_page);


well, if we want to VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() at all. there haven't been any
problems with compaction, is there any specific reason these macros
were added?

do we really need to free_zspage() out of class->lock?
wouldn't something like this

		if (putback_zspage(pool, class, src_page) == ZS_EMPTY) {
			pool->stats.pages_compacted += class->pages_per_zspage;
			free_zspage(pool, class, src_page);
		}
		spin_unlock(&class->lock);

be simpler?

besides, free_zspage() now updates class stats out of class lock,
not critical but still.
