zram: idle writeback fixes and cleanup

This patch includes some fixes and cleanup for idle-page writeback.

1. writeback_limit interface

Now writeback_limit interface is rather conusing.  For example, once
writeback limit budget is exausted, admin can see 0 from
/sys/block/zramX/writeback_limit which is same semantic with disable
writeback_limit at this moment.  IOW, admin cannot tell that zero came
from disable writeback limit or exausted writeback limit.

To make the interface clear, let's sepatate enable of writeback limit to
another knob - /sys/block/zram0/writeback_limit_enable

* before:
  while true :
    # to re-enable writeback limit once previous one is used up
    echo 0 > /sys/block/zram0/writeback_limit
    echo $((200<<20)) > /sys/block/zram0/writeback_limit
    ..
    .. # used up the writeback limit budget

* new
  # To enable writeback limit, from the beginning, admin should
  # enable it.
  echo $((200<<20)) > /sys/block/zram0/writeback_limit
  echo 1 > /sys/block/zram/0/writeback_limit_enable
  while true :
    echo $((200<<20)) > /sys/block/zram0/writeback_limit
    ..
    .. # used up the writeback limit budget

It's much strightforward.

2. fix condition check idle/huge writeback mode check

The mode in writeback_store is not bit opeartion any more so no need to
use bit operations.  Furthermore, current condition check is broken in
that it does writeback every pages regardless of huge/idle.

3. clean up idle_store

No need to use goto.

 like below.

 The writeback_limit count will reset whenever you reset zram(e.g.,
 system reboot, echo 1 > /sys/block/zramX/reset) so keeping how many of
 writeback happened until you reset the zram to allocate extra writeback
 budget in next setting is user's job.
