zsmalloc is not exclusive to zswap. Commit aa3ba6d72ce0
("mm: Kconfig: fixup zsmalloc configuration") made CONFIG_ZSMALLOC
only visible when CONFIG_ZSWAP is selected, which makes it
impossible to menuconfig zsmalloc-specific features (stats,
chain-size, etc.) on systems that use ZRAM but don't have ZSWAP
enabled.
Make zsmalloc depend on both ZRAM and ZSWAP.

I can't find this commit upstream.
It looks like this was actually broken by
commit b3fbd58fcbb10725a1314688e03b1af6827c42f9
Author: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org>
Date: Thu May 19 14:08:53 2022 -0700
mm: Kconfig: simplify zswap configuration
instead?
The patch itself looks good to me.

My bad, I didn't pay attention to what checkpatch suggested as an edit.
Thanks for spotting this Johannes and thanks for fixing this up Andrew!
