If the crypto_acomp has a poll interface registered, zswap_compress()
and zswap_decompress() will submit the acomp_req, and then poll() for a
successful completion/error status in a busy-wait loop. This allows an
asynchronous way to manage (potentially multiple) acomp_reqs without
the use of interrupts, which is supported in the iaa_crypto driver.
This enables us to implement batch submission of multiple
compression/decompression jobs to the Intel IAA hardware accelerator,
which will process them in parallel; followed by polling the batch's
acomp_reqs for completion status.

Is Herbert suggesting that crypto_wait_req(crypto_acomp_compress(..))
essentially do the poll internally for IAA, and hence this change can
be dropped?

Yes, you're right. I plan to submit a v2 shortly with Herbert's suggestion.
