    Allow Xen tmem shim to be built/loaded as a module.  Xen self-ballooning
    and frontswap-selfshrinking are now also "lazily" initialized when the
    Xen tmem shim is loaded as a module, unless explicitly disabled by
    module parameters.
    
    Note runtime dependency disallows loading if cleancache/frontswap lazy
    initialization patches are not present.
    
    If built-in (not built as a module), the original mechanism of enabling
    via a kernel boot parameter is retained, but this should be considered
    deprecated.
    
    Note that module unload is explicitly not yet supported.
    
    [v1: Removed the [CLEANCACHE|FRONTSWAP]_HAS_LAZY_INIT ifdef]
    [v2: Squashed the xen/tmem: Remove the subsys call patch in]
    [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix build (disable_frontswap_selfshrinking undeclared)]
