mm: zswap: remove same_filled module params

These knobs offer more fine-grained control to userspace than needed and
directly expose/influence kernel implementation; remove them.

For disabling same_filled handling, there is no logical reason to refuse
storing same-filled pages more efficiently and opt for compression.
Scanning pages for patterns may be an argument, but the page contents will
be read into the CPU cache anyway during compression. Also, removing the
same_filled handling code does not move the needle significantly in terms
of performance anyway [1].

For disabling non_same_filled handling, it was added when the compressed
pages in zswap were not being properly charged to memcgs, as workloads
could escape the accounting with compression [2]. This is no longer the
case after commit f4840ccfca25 ("zswap: memcg accounting"), and using
zswap without compression does not make much sense.

crypto: iaa - Fix some errors in IAA documentation

This cleans up the following issues I ran into when trying to use the
scripts and commands in the iaa-crypto.rst document.

- Fix incorrect arguments being passed to accel-config
config-wq.
- Replace --device_name with --driver-name.
- Replace --driver_name with --driver-name.
- Replace --size with --wq-size.
- Add missing --priority argument.
- Add missing accel-config config-engine command after the
config-wq commands.
- Fix wq name passed to accel-config config-wq.
- Add rmmod/modprobe of iaa_crypto to script that disables,
then enables all devices and workqueues to avoid enable-wq
failing with -EEXIST when trying to register to compression
algorithm.
- Fix device name in cases where iaa was used instead of iax.

crypto: iaa - Add global_stats file and remove individual stat files

Currently, the wq_stats output also includes the global stats, while
the individual global stats are also available as separate debugfs
files. Since these are all read-only, there's really no reason to
have them as separate files, especially since we already display them
as global stats in the wq_stats. It makes more sense to just add a
separate global_stats file to display those, and remove them from the
wq_stats, as well as removing the individual stats files.
